240 slides and 5 exercises for your next Datawrapper workshop

As soon as you become a Datawrapper user, you might want to teach Datawrapper in your own or in other organizations to introduce others to the wonderful world of chart & map-making. We love that. And we want to support that. That’s why we’re offering training slides, which – hopefully – make it easier for you to prepare and give Datawrapper workshops:

Workshop slides

Use or adjust them for your own Datawrapper workshop

You can find the 240 slides of exercises and other modules on Google Slides: tiny.cc/datawrapper-workshop

From there, you can download the slides as a Powerpoint file or PDF. You can use this material for all kinds of commercial and noncommercial workshops without attributing us. (You can also print these slides, but only in a workshop context.)

We prepared both talk slides (“modules”) and exercises for you. All slides contains speaker notes (View > Show speaker notes) with suggestions on what to talk about while showing them.

Modules

The modules are the “talk” part of your workshop.

Exercises

The exercises are the “do” part of your workshop.

We prepared five of them with different difficulty levels. All of them work great for demos (= you show attendees how it’s done but they don’t follow along) and for workshops in which attendees build Datawrapper visualizations on their own laptops.

These exercises are not set in stone. Adjust them to your needs: If your organization re-uses a certain dataset again and again, show your workshop participants how to use this one in Datawrapper. If you teach in a country/city with a great open data portal, use their data. If you teach people in a certain field, try to get data from that field.

You will find that every exercise comes with a lot of screenshot slides that show the whole process. We don’t recommend that you show these slides during your workshop. Instead, open Datawrapper in the browser and show everything your attendees are supposed to do, live. This way, you can react to spontaneous questions (“Can I do x, too?”).
