Statistics, Knowledge and Policy: Understanding Societal Change

Short Course on 3 or 4 August 2009

"We urge statistical offices, public and private organisations, and academic experts to work alongside representatives of their communities to produce high-quality, facts-based information that can be used by all of society to form a shared view of societal well-being and its evolution over time"
- Istanbul Declaration, June 2007

The short course will focus on measuring the progress of societies including:

  • Conceptualising 'progress of societies'
  • Designing outcome indicators
  • Communicating progress using leading edge ICT
  • Telling a story to communicate results

The course will be coordinated by Sue West. Sue is the Co-ordinator for Community Indicators Victoria.
