Training Programme
The ‘Opening the Appetite: Data Skills for Global Development‘ training programme has been designed for students on undergraduate social science related programmes with an interest in global development.
There are three parts to the training programme:
- PART 1: Online self-study course organised into 5 modules to introduce key material, hosted on the UNED Abierta learning platform
- PART 2: Online live tutor-led activities to extend and consolidate learning from self-study modules and support team building
- PART 3: Activities to support learners to complete remote team projects, applying their learning to real world development data scenarios whilst developing cross-cultural teamwork and communication skills.
The training programme is designed for groups of undergraduates students from different institutions to complete together online over a one-week period. However, it is also possible to mix and match the parts of the learning resources that are most suitable, and the resources may appeal to others interested in data for development training too.
