What is DALI?
The omnipresence of data in European citizens’ daily lives requires the ability to competently navigate this so-called datafied society. Adult education holds the potential to reach a large part of the population and to support adult learners on their journey to be data literate. The DALI project aims to contribute to this journey by creating resources that can be used to foster data literacy in local, regional and European contexts.
DALI addresses the basic training of data literacy for adult learners in non-formal contexts, through the co-creation, piloting, and evaluation of pedagogical strategies and a toolkit of games and playful learning resources. By taking a playful approach we attempt to increase learning demand and take-up through effective outreach, guidance and motivational strategies.
