Workshops Data Literacy for your team
How do you become a data-literate organisation?

- Our approach
A data-literate organisation is aware of what data is, its opportunities and risks, and how to collect, store, analyse, and present data in a way that aligns with its organisational values. To assist social organisations in becoming more data-savvy, we offer a range of workshops.
Workshop: values-driven approach to working with data
Whether your organisation advocates for inclusivity, safety, or convenience, in a data-literate organisation, these values also shape how data is collected, stored, analysed, and shared.
How do you make that transition? In other words, how do you become a data-literate organisation? This workshop tackles these questions. We discuss what data is, its opportunities and risks, and then explore how you can shape your data practices based on your values.
The end result? An overview of data handling guidelines aligned with your values.
A practical example of this workshop
During the webinar "How to Become a Data-Literate Organisation?" that we organised in late 2022 for members of Goede Doelen Nederland, we applied this approach to the values of the Special Social Club. The Special Social Club aims to lower the barriers in today's society so that disabilities do not limit individuals.
The Special Social Club provides a social platform where fundamental rights such as dancing, social interactions, dating, sports, and employment are accessible to everyone. They organize inclusive and accessible activities for young adults and adults with physical and/or intellectual disabilities.
The four core values of the Special Social Club are enjoyment, trust, connection, and inclusion. Curious to see how we translated these values into data handling rules?
Workshop: A data strategy for social impact
Many social organisations use a Theory of Change to make their impact visible but struggle with measuring actual impact.
In an ideal world, all goals are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely). However, the context in which social organisations operate is complex: social impact is difficult to grasp and influenced by many factors. How do we bridge this gap?
In our workshop series, we work with your team to develop a measurement plan for your mission. We explore what data is and what data is available in your organisation, what social impact is, and what impact goals you have. We then examine how we can bring these two aspects together.
The end result? A measurement plan for your impact goals. Read here the key takeaways from the first workshop in this series.

Data knowledge and skills for society
At Digital Power, we’re aware of the many opportunities data has to offer. We enjoy working together with a variety of clients to help them transition from data to action. But our ambition doesn’t end there. As the data partner, we want to make our data knowledge and skills accessible to everyone – including society and civil society organisations. That’s why, in 2021, we founded a foundation: the Digital Power Datahub.
The Digital Power Datahub, what exactly is it?
The Datahub: what exactly is it, which projects do we carry out and what do we want to achieve with it? Marloes interviewed Marieke, chair of the Datahub, about this in the podcast 'From data to action'! Listen to the podcast or read the article below.
What does the Datahub do?
At Digital Power, we are aware of the opportunities that data offers us and we do not shy away from our societal responsibility. That's why we established a foundation in 2021 called the Digital Power Datahub. With our foundation, we contribute to a data-savvy world where data knowledge is accessible to everyone. What does that look like in practice?
Why we established a foundation
At Digital Power, we are aware of the opportunities that data presents and we don't shy away from our societal responsibility. That's why we established the Digital Power Datahub in 2021. Through our foundation, we contribute to building a data-aware world. Why is this so important?
Target group research for new website
The organisation Doctors of the World offers medical assistance to people in a vulnerable position. They often do not know how to find their way in the Dutch healthcare system. Doctors of the World helps them with this. One of the channels to get informed about the work of Doctors of the World is the website, which will be redesigned.
The COVID-19 Violence Tracker
The outbreak of the corona pandemic in early 2020 has turned the world upside down. In addition to countless infections, hospitalisations and deaths, we also saw an outbreak of violence in many countries. Citizens took to the streets, sometimes violently, to protest against the measures taken, but domestic violence also increased in many places and fear and frustration played a role in racism.
Children (also) leave data everywhere
At Digital Power, we are aware of the opportunities that data offers us and we do not shy away from our societal responsibility. That is why we established a foundation in 2021: the Digital Power Datahub. Through our foundation, we contribute to a data-literate world where data knowledge is accessible to everyone.
