About the workshop
Some stories are too vast, too painful, or too politically contested for conventional reporting to carry. In this workshop, journalists and data visualisation specialists from Texty and ForSet present the tools and methods they used to make the stories, like that of Ukraine's abducted children, impossible to ignore, not for audiences already paying attention, but for those who weren't, or didn't want to be. A practical session on how design, data and AI tools can make complex, sensitive material travel across indifference.
