This month we are bringing back our Unconference! In this session, we flip the typical conference format. Instead of an expert presenting to a room, the topics come from our community (this could be you!). We'll have two 30-minute rounds with a few topics in each, so you can choose the conversations you want to be part of.
Have a topic you've been wanting to talk through with other data users? Consider facilitating. You don't need to be an expert. This is your opportunity to brainstorm and learn from other data users who are interested in incorporating equitable practices in their work. All you have to do is pick out a topic that you are interested in and bring a few questions to get the conversation going. Interested? Fill out this short form: https://wkf.ms/4kRKwLD
If facilitating isn't for you, register above!
About this group:
We are a group of data users in Connecticut who are supporting one another as we work toward more equitable data practices. We focus on racial equity explicitly but not exclusively.
Some of the topics we talk about include:
How can we make sure we don't make certain groups invisible through how we disaggregate our data?
How can we learn to focus our attention on the strengths, rather than the deficits, of groups we are seeking to serve or support?
How can we learn from the people who we hope will benefit from our products or services about what their data means to them?
How can we help the institutions that we are part of to be trustworthy so that people will trust us with their information/data?

Please feel free to check out the group. And if it is helpful, please share it!
