Communicating with Graphics
Explaining the science and importance of environmental issues or climate change is not easy. It can be a challenging task for scientists. Graphics and maps can make it easier to grasp what it is all about.
With today's tools, many researchers and analysts have the power to work closely with data, but don't always know how to extract and visualise the information in their publications.
It's vital to use correct data and to present them without getting lost in the complexity of the subject.
Learn how to prepare graphics that are picked up by bloggers and featured in press releases and presentations!
In a full-day training workshop, you learn how to create maps and graphics that capture your audience's attention and expand the reach and impact of your information.
You learn the background and theory of good graphics and data visualisations as well as what to achieve (and why).
The workshop is designed for participants who works with environmental information and data — from researchers, statisticians, to policy analysts and government staff.
All teaching material presented in the workshop is shared with the participants, to minimize the need for extensive note-taking.
The instruction is in English.
