The Practice & Apply Lab of the College of Europe in Natolin hosted a workshop titled "Making Sense of Data" designed by the Publications Office of the European Union.
This interactive workshop guided the students through key EU resources, including data.europa.eu, the official portal for European data, and demonstrated how to harness open data for research and storytelling. The attendees learnt to spot common pitfalls in data visualisation, understand how to critically evaluate sources, and discover techniques for crafting compelling narratives with data. With hands-on activities and real-world examples, this session equipped the students with practical skills to navigate the data landscape with confidence, empowering them to think critically and communicate data insights effectively.
