Join us for a three-part training series on data visualisation and learn how to turn complex data into clear, ethical, and engaging visuals. Led by data visualisation expert and professor Alberto Cairo, each 90-minute episode combines theory, hands-on practice, and curated materials to help you design visualisations that communicate insights effectively. The episodes are open to all backgrounds and experience levels, and attending all three is highly recommended.

Episode 1: Foundations of effective data visualisation
