VCSE Data and Intelligence Peer Learning Network - Data Storytelling
Discover how to turn numbers into narratives at our interactive Peer Learning Network.
The Data Peer Learning Network is open to anyone working with data in the Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in Greater Manchester. In today’s data-driven world, telling compelling stories with data more than just a skill —it’s how we can inspire action, attract funding, and drive our missions as VCSE organisations.
This session will explore:
- Effective data visualisation: How you can visualise data you already hold and bring it to life?
- People-centred narratives: How do we centre people’s experiences and stories in the way we report and share our data?
- Best practices and tools: Simplifying the data storytelling process for VCSE organisations of all sizes
Wherever you are on your data journey, this session aims to inspire you and give you practical tools and ideas to help you harness data as a storytelling tool.
Bring your curiosity, and leave inspired!
From August 2023-March 2024 10GM partnered with Data Orchard CIC to research and understand the state of data and intelligence in the VCSE sector in Greater Manchester, exploring challenges and barriers, and identifying opportunities and actions for advancing data capability in the Greater Manchester VCSE sector. This workshop is one of ten project ideas developed in response to its findings.
