The Land Portal has been using data stories since 2019 as a way to demonstrate how combining data with engaging, memorable and persuasive narratives can empower communities to tell their stories to the world.

In the workshop, “Using Data to Tell Compelling Stories About Land,” we featured winners of the 2021 Data Story Contest and their data stories as well as one of our data scientists. Panelists presented their data stories and shared their points of view with regards to writing and sharing an effective story.

Dr. Konrad Hentze, a GIS expert at the Land Portal, began by sharing theoretical inputs about data and why data stories are key for the land sector.

Data on land is sparse yet important. There is a lot of variety of data on land, security, and ownership, but people still struggle in using it to make a point or get central messages across.

Dr. Hentze differentiated between three different data types that the Land Portal hosts: quantitative data, qualitative data and spatial data (which is by its nature often quantitative, but still important for us to be considered separately). However, the main question for all three types is: how do we communicate the data to recipients, donors, activists, and other interested parties?
