Attendees work independently and in groups. Topics covered on the day include: • The history and principles of data visualisation The workshops are designed for a mix of professions and individual interests. Many participants are seeking to become more confident in processing data and generate more creative visual narratives. Participants will come away with an understanding of: • The why and how we visualise data I have delivered training for public and private organisations. Some of my clients include Google, Pfizer and the UN ILO and I have been a visiting lecturer at the London College of Communication, Ravensbourne and Southbank University. I started working with Valentina a few years ago. She was actually the first trainer to run a workshop on behalf of Graphic Hunters. She is a really talented designer and shares her passion about dataviz in an enthusiastic way. Her training is a nice mix of theory and practice. Participants work alone or in groups on several assignments, to get a thorough understanding of storytelling with data. Goof van de Winkel, founder Graphic Hunters
