Join our webinar series on Storytelling with Data and discover how raw numbers can be transformed into compelling narratives that spark interest and deliver meaningful insights. In today’s data-driven world, numbers alone aren’t enough — you need to communicate them with clarity and purpose to truly engage your audience and create impact.
Throughout the series, you’ll see examples of data stories, along with behind-the-scenes insights into how these stories are crafted for different audiences. We’ll also examine how practical considerations and public perception can shape the structure of a story — and influence which data points take center stage.
All meetings are online via MS Teams and start at 16.00 and end ± 16.45h. If you register, you will receive the Teams-link in a separate email before the meeting.
Note: the meetings will not be recorded.
Many hospitals in the Netherlands collect data about their patients, yet communicating these data back to patients is not current practice. Does knowing your specific risk for a certain side effect scare patients, or does it give them a sense of control? Can patient stories (narratives about a patient journey) also make use of data and what are possible downsides of doing so?
