Podcast: how to promote statistical literacy?

In the latest episode of the Eurostat podcast series Stats in a Wrap, we explore statistical literacy, unravelling what it takes to truly understand data. 

Join our host, Jonathan Elliott, as he sits down with an array of experts: Juliane von Reppert-Bismarck from the media literacy organisation Lie Detectors and Konstantina Michalopoulou and Romina Brondino from Eurostat’s Dissemination and User Support Unit. Additionally, representatives from three national statistical institutes - Gundega Kuzmina from Latvia, Jukka Hoffren from Finland, and Ana Beljan Ščuric from Croatia - share their insights.

In this episode, we will explore the vital importance of statistical literacy in understanding official statistics and examine how to effectively communicate statistical concepts to a wide range of audiences. Our guests will share innovative approaches to empower students and teachers to critically analyse news and engage with statistics.
