Data Visualisation Training in Poland

While Poland boasts a thriving tech industry and a burgeoning interest in data-related fields, there remains a noticeable void when it comes to specialising in data visualisation. Recognising this gap, I would like to attempt to provide on-site training by first starting with something introductory.

The goal is to provide participants with a foundational understanding of the field and guidance on how to start a career in data visualisation or add it as a tool to an existing career. The focus is on theory and practice rather than on technical skills, so no computers are required to attend. Instead, low-tech learning tools such as card games are employed to make the learning experience fun and collaborative. I wanted to keep the training tool agnostic to allow of flexibility for any career paths.

Location and Duration

The venue in Kraków still needs to be determined, but training can of course be provided on-site so long as there’s an adequate conference room. Training outside of Kraków is possible providing that there are good transport links to the required location.

Typically, the training runs up to 5 hours, with an hour lunch break and two short 15-minute breaks. The start time and breaks can be flexible.

The training will be delivered in English, as unfortunately currently my Polish isn’t good enough.
