Discover our Academy’s courses on communication about open data
Become an expert in data visualisation and communicate your findings effectively
This week's course highlights of the data.europa.eu Academy are those related to the Communication theme. These courses help users translate their results of working with open data into an easy-to-digest story for their audience. On our Academy page, users can filter by the theme Communication, which shows 4 different courses each containing relevant lessons.
The course on ‘Measuring the impact of open data’ teaches users how the impact of open data usage on government, society, environment, and economy can be made tangible. Moreover, users can get inspired by the lesson on ‘Stories from the Use Case Observatory’, to learn about data-driven solutions in Europe. In June, a new webinar (Volume 2) was hosted, where speakers from two data reuse cases informed listeners on their reusage of open data in day-to-day projects.
The other relevant courses are ‘Including data in your communication’, which contains several videos on how you can improve your communication through data visualisation, such as the lesson on creating maps of the European Union elections. For beginners, there is the course ‘Introducing data visualisation’ which helps users inspire their audience by creating engaging storytelling data visualisations. Lastly, the ‘Inspiring through data visualisation’ course builds on this by extending the knowledge on creating meaningful illustrations on day-to-day topics like music, art, COVID-19 and the environment.
On a regular basis, there is new content added to the courses. For example, people already familiar to older content can now watch our session hosted on 21 June on the European Drug Report, which is part of the ‘How to make your data easier to visualise’ lesson. So, whether you are a beginner or more advanced with communication open data, our data.europa.eu Academy offers you a variety of courses to further improve your skills.
