Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the news has been awash with data: numbers of new infections, rates of transmission, global projections of the disease’s spread. The phrase ‘flatten the curve’ has become a commonplace way to refer to Covid-19.
Now more than ever, it is vital that public servants understand the importance of data visualisation. Visualising data can help communicate complex information simply and with clarity - a skill that is vital for public servants and policymakers.
Join this free online workshop to learn how to create your own data visualisation, from start to finish. You’ll learn common pitfalls to avoid and principles to keep in mind, while you work step-by-step through a data visualisation.
