Abstract

Almost all fields of today’s society use and produce data and citizens must learn how to navigate this to be able to actively participate, but education (policy) does not necessarily pay attention to the competences related to data literacy. The DataBuzz aims to improve the data literacy of young people in Brussels through interactive data-themed workshops. The DataBuzz is a unique project that enhances synergies linked to data literacy between educational practice, ed-tech awareness, hands-on experience, and state-of-the-art research. The DataBuzz is an effort to put data literacy on the educational agenda, however, this is only one type of method that could be used to improve data literacy through education. This policy brief details aspects that need to be taken into account when setting up digital-focussed initiatives.
