Our educational program is designed for 15-year-old students and aims to foster critical thinking, digital skills, and awareness of the global challenges outlined in the 2030 Agenda. Through open data analysis and the creation of both digital and physical visualizations, students learn to understand the world through data and to communicate impactful stories.

Students are introduced to data structures using Ackoff’s Pyramid and Bloom’s Taxonomy. Through games, discussion, and reflection, they explore how data supports decision-making.

Practice: Students identify data in their surroundings and reflect on its role in their daily lives.

Session 2: What are open data portals and how can I use them?

Exploration of open data sources like World Bank Data. Students learn how to search for datasets and reflect on their content.

Session 2A: Practice

Students search for a dataset related to the Sustainable Development Goals and begin their analysis.

Session 3: How do I prepare data for visualization?

Introduction to basic data cleaning and organization techniques using spreadsheets.

Session 3A: Practice

Students prepare their own dataset to get it ready for visualization.

Session 5: How do I interpret a data visualization?

Students explore how to interpret and communicate data through visual storytelling and write articles using charts.

Session 5A: Practice

Students write a short article with their visualization and review each other’s work.

In this final session, students learn how to interpret data not just to understand a problem, but to identify possible solutions and decide on a course of action. They explore how data-driven insights can support better decision-making, especially in the context of sustainability challenges.

Session 5A: Practice

Students write a short article or presentation proposing an action based on the insights from their data. They work in pairs to give and receive feedback, refining their message to make it clear, persuasive, and grounded in evidence.
