Beyond the Numbers: Centering Communities in the Data Narrative

Summary

Who should really be in control of the data narrative? In this introduction to data justice principles, equity means centering community stories, history and wisdom. This VIRTUAL interactive workshop fosters critical thinking to interpret data and develop data narratives that center communities. When using data, it is critical to unpack the stories behind the statistics, graphs, and catchy media sound bites. The power of the data narrative in decision-making can significantly impact policies and resource allocation, and it is the community from which data derives that is entitled to its ownership, narrative creation, and benefits.

Participants can expect to gain:

• An enhanced understanding of data equity
• Improved data-driven decision-making processes and new ideas for using data to tell stories
• Tools to share impact and communicate data effectively

Space is limited: A maximum of 100 people can register and a minimum number of 20 is required in order for the workshop to run effectively.
