#glosdataday
Create Gloucestershire, Connected by Data, 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 and ‘data’ sectors in Gloucestershire.
We’d love a wide range of participants to join us so whether you work or take part in the creative, community, voluntary, public, private sector or ‘data’ sector you are welcome.
We actively encourage people who have diverse perspectives about data and its use, are data confident or not and those interested in how this impacts communities in Gloucestershire.
