About the Project
The aim of the UN World Data Forum is to spur data innovation, nurture partnerships, mobilize high-level political and financial support for data, and build a pathway to better data for sustainable development.
The forum will take place in Medellin, Colombia to take November 12-15, 2024. During this time, a Bootcamp "Data-Driven Communications: Leveraging Generative AI Tools for Strategic Impact" is being organized by Paris 2!, CEPEI and other partners including Viz for Social Good.
The objectives the Bootcamp are
Explore how generative AI and Data Visualization tools can enhance data use for impactful decision-making, while identifying key advantages and challenges of their implementation.
Connect local, national, regional, and global partners to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and capacity building in data-driven communications and the use of AI.
Offer participants the chance to sharpen their skills on data communication and expand their networks with local, regional and global partners.
Call to Action
This dataset records detailed data on foreigners entering Colombia. It includes gender and nationality breakdowns since 2012, providing a quantitative foundation for analyzing migration trends in Colombia. The data can be used as a baseline to understand the volume, nationality distribution, and gender of migrants entering Colombia.
Create data visualizations using tool of your choice. While use of Generative AI is optional, you can take this as an opportunity to explore and learn about various capabilities available.
Audience
The Bootcamp attendees will consist of:
Local: Stakeholders in the local data ecosystem, including media representatives, academia, policymakers, civil society, and technology innovators.
National: Communication offices from NSOs, media and communications experts from civil society, academia, and the press.
Regional and global: Data visualization experts, data scientists, AI experts, statisticians, and media and communications experts.
Use of Data Visualization
The visualizations will be showcased at the Bootcamp and used by the participants to develop data stories and data communication products using Generative AI.
Selected volunteers will also have an opportunity to present at Viz for Social Good's Year End Summit in December 2024.
