How does the European Statistics Competition empower young thinkers?

In this episode we are talking about the European Statistics Competition (ESC). We will explore how it helps young people develop statistical liter-acy through exciting video projects, and how it teaches them critical thinking and data interpretation skills in a funny way, relevant to their lives. Speakers in this episode are Ioannis Xirouchakis from the Dissemination and User Support unit at Eurostat, Nikoleta Šlachtová from the Dissemi-nation Directorate of the Slovak Republic’s statistical office, and Kelly Sabbe from the Belgian statistical office. Together with Jonathan Elliot they discuss how the ESC empowers young people to creatively com-municate complex data and enhances their statistical literacy and critical thinking skills.
