Stories, tools and games
Data, stories and educational tools on many topics, free to use. The first is Sverige i siffror, about Sweden.
About Datastory.org
An independent non-profit with a mission to educate on a global scale.
We want to make scientific research and data on key topics as accessible as Netflix, mobile games or funny cat videos, so that more people can take part in the democratic dialogue on equal terms.
Our vision
A world where reasoning, science and knowledge win over ignorance, racism and injustice.
A world that identifies problems early, while there is still time to act, so that people and the planet can live safely and prosperously.
Our values
The five values behind our work
- 01Scientific
Every number can be traced back to its source, and we explain how we got there.
- 02Intuitive
You should be able to read our charts without any training in statistics.
- 03Curious
We start with a question and follow the data where it goes.
- 04Thought-provoking
We show the details that make a familiar story more complicated.
- 05Timeless
We build things that will still be true and useful in ten years.
What we do
Infrastructure, training, data, and stories
We take our cues from data journalism and solutions journalism. We give researchers and journalists tools that help people understand complex issues, and we combine the Datastory platform with civic education and open data to work on some of humanity's biggest challenges.
Datastory Academy
Free data journalism courses for schools, especially in underserved communities.
About the programme →Civic technology
We work with other organisations to build and host tools that make public institutions more transparent and easier to hold to account.
Who we are
A collaborative, global effort
Datastory.org is built by data scientists, data journalists, project leaders, developers and designers. Some are volunteers and some are staff, and they work from several countries.
We are a registered Swedish non-profit association (ideell förening), legally independent from Datastory Tech AB, whose platform we build on.
A space for learning about the world.
By providing the infrastructure, training, data and stories, we set the stage for a more inclusive, prosperous and fair world for everyone.
