Join us for Gloucestershire’s
2nd data day.
Do you have ideas about how we could use data better in our communities and want to collaborate?
Come along for a day of creative, practical and critical conversations around data …and what it means for you...
Monday 16th December 2024 #glosdataday
Create Gloucestershire, Connected by Data, Age Uk Gloucestershire, Active Gloucestershire & Barnwood Trust are planning a one day event for anyone taking part or working in communities across Gloucestershire to:
Build confidence in understanding and working with data: exploring language, skills and approaches that take the fear out of stats and spreadsheets
Take a creative approach to engaging with data collection and use - moving beyond spreadsheets and stats, from storage to storytelling
Create connections between individuals and organisations in Gloucestershire with data to share and those with data needs
Generate ideas together for how data could work better for all
Get critical about the power of data, and how to put communities in control
Who is this for? Perhaps for you?
We want to bring together people from across the creative, voluntary public and tech sectors in Gloucestershire.
We’d love a wide range of participants to join us and actively encourage people who have diverse perspectives about data and its use and anyone who is interested in how data impacts communities in Gloucestershire.
