Grow Webinar: Statistical literacy and citizen data



About the webinar

This webinar will explore the linkages between statistical literacy initiatives, with a primary educational goal, and Citizen Data initiatives that encompass a range of citizen contributions to data value chain, from civic action to partnerships with and by NSOs. The Copenhagen Conceptual Framework on Citizen Data presented by the Collaborative on Citizen Data to UN Statistical Commission in 2024 sets a new milestone by increasingly recognizing citizen data “as critical to overcoming many of the data challenges we face today and encourages a more inclusive decision-making process”. Harnessing synergies between statistical literacy and Citizen Data initiatives can ultimately contribute to healthier democratic societies.

GROW is a series of webinars organized and run by the Global Network of Institutions for Statistical Training (GIST) and its Task Team on Statistical Literacy.
