Workshop
Five hundred million tweets. Sixty-five billion WhatsApp messages. More than 290 billion emails. These are just a few of the estimates of the amount of data we produce daily. And these numbers are expected to continue to increase exponentially.
However, using and sharing this data, especially for the public good, presents great potential and risk, including issues of security, privacy, and consent.
During this workshop, public servants can learn how to share, access, and use data for the public good.
What you will learn:
- How to overcome the challenges of using and sharing data
- Best practices for sharing, accessing and using data (including key aspects of data sharing agreements)
- How to navigate public-private data partnerships
- Which resources and tools you can use to take your learning further
Who should attend:
This workshop is for anyone working in or with government, including those from international organisations, civil society, and academia, who are interested in hearing about leveraging data for the public good. It’s suitable for any level, from open government novices to subject specialists.
