Data Expeditions are quests to map uncharted territory, discover hidden stories and solve unsolved mysteries in the Land of Data. In a team you’ll tackle a problem, answer a question or work on a project. We help you to get started and it’s up to you to decide where you go.
You discover hidden stories and solve mysteries in the Land of Data. In a team you investigate datasets and develop new ideas for campaigns and find new a approach to a challenge. We accompany you on your way and introduce you to the data pipeline, a method for developing data-driven projects.
Trying things out and working with real data is best to improve your data literacy skills. The two to three days Data Expedition gives you the space to approach your ideas with the help of digital tools and methods. That´s how you best get to know working with data and how you may even make some new friends along the way.
Every data expedition is unique and is completely geared to the needs of the participants. One example is our Data Expedition on EU’s financial transparency, the Story Hunt. Below you find a typical outline of a Data Expedition.
