Course Details
Planners in the future will be accessing great amounts of data. Data analysis is a skill all planners should support their practice on. As storytelling is inherently a core skill in planning practice, merging these 2 skills is paramount. In this course, panelists will begin telling a story throughout this session, while at the same time, sharing methodologies, tips, and tricks for planners to support their storytelling with data. The session aims to generate emotions and incorporate these into the session and storytelling.
This course aims to inspire planning practitioners to generate content with data that helps tell a story. The solutions or ideas presented include various types of methods, software, and techniques that help practitioners to look at data. In this course, we will explore how to recognize underserved aspects or data points (which as planners we need to include to change and advance inclusive and equitable community planning) and showcase these aspects in a storytelling capacity.
