The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (the Council) has ever committed through research and advocacy to the co-discovery of social needs and the promotion of service and policy development with the sector. In the past years, the Council has organized conferences and workshops related to research and advocacy, aiming to encourage the sector to share relevant frontline experiences, thereby fostering learning and knowledge exchange.
In a new era of social media with overloaded information, everyone can construct their own “social reality”, making it difficult for the public to distinguish between truth and falsity. Against this background, it is more than necessary to develop multi-dimensional and cross-sectoral perspective, and together with data and empirical methods, discuss social issues and co-create solutions. The Council will is going to organize a workshop titled “Effective Data Storytelling in Co-shaping the Social Issues,” hoping to nurture this kind of capacity in the sector. Dr Leung Kai-chi who is a public scholar with strong empirical skill and discursive sense in the subject is invited to be a speaker. The workshop will highlight common data fallacies with the examples of past social issues, and introduce how to visualize data and create data story in resonant with a larger environment of different audiences.
