Data is everywhere. It’s not just about numbers: data gives you insights about people and the world they live in

Learn how to go beyond spreadsheets, algorithms and mathematical calculations to tell compelling stories

Using two easy-to-use tools you’ll learn how to make beautiful graphs and graphics that will get what you want to say across effectively in reports, presentations and on social media.

Who is this course for?

This 4-hour workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to communicate effectively with graphs and graphics, such as people working in communications, PR or HR. No previous experience or special skills are necessary, this is a beginner-level course. But an openness to trying something new is compulsory.

What skills will you learn?

We will show you how to:

• Identify the stories that data tells us – and then communicate them effectively

• Take data from a spreadsheet or table and make it into an eye-catching static or interactive graph using Flourish, an online data visualisation tool

• Make interactive graphs that can be published on a website

• Turn a static graphic into an eye-catching social media post using Canva, an online design tool
