This module supports efforts to develop and support data-socialization skills within groups. This module aims to answer the question: How do we build a data-friendly culture? This includes the questions:
- Why does data culture matter?
- How can we start an informal data working group?
- How can we design curriculum to build data skills within groups?
RECIPE
A suggested step by step process to achieve learning objectives.
- Read Data Socialisation: Fostering a Data Culture [Handout 1] to get an understanding of why building a data culture is important.
- To build foundations for developing informal data working groups, run the session Designing your data skills curriculum [SessionPlan 1] with your team to get an ideal of the skills they already possess and where there are gaps in knowledge.
- Use What is Data Literacy at IFRC? [SlideDeck 6] and Why Data Matters [SlideDeck 3] slide decks as discussion points for upcoming meetings of your working group.
- Provide your working group with the Our Data Audiences [Handout 12] so they can frame who they are trying to engage with data at IFRC.
