About Datastory
Datastory is a non-profit organization devoted to explaining important issues using open data and other information. We use interactive storytelling techniques – or in short ”data stories” – because we believe it is a powerful way of communicating human knowledge. It’s a natural evolution of the Encyclopedia, one better aligned with how humans learn and the amounts of data available to humanity today.
Our goal is to make scientific research and data as accessible as Netflix, mobile games or funny cat videos so that more people can participate in the democratic dialogue on equal terms. If more people have access to knowledge, we will have better conversations. With rich overviews and explanations – a click away – it will be easier for anyone to track societal progress, contribute ideas and hold politicians to account whether we’re debating economy, healthcare or education.
