A residential monsoon training programme under AAETI’s School of Development Communication

What gets measured, gets managed – goes the saying. But it misses out on a crucial link: what gets measured must be analyzed and communicated. If it is not, it cannot be managed. We live in a time of an over-abundance of data in every field. Every piece of this data, when analyzed, reveals a minefield of information. Unanalyzed, it is no good. But processed and communicated well, it becomes an excellent outreach tool, capable of making far-reaching impacts.

Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute (AAETI), a Centre for Science and Environment initiative, brings you a five-day course on reading numbers and data, making sense of them, and using them to inform, influence and impact. The course will help you develop skills for searching the data which is most relevant for you; analyse, visualise and interpret it; and translate it into actionable information.
