Creative mapmaking + experimental cartography with QGIS
This fun workshop aims to showcase the possibilities of QGIS in data visualization. In a single day we go through basics of working with geospatial data and for example combining it with tabular data and basic ways you can integrate QGIS in to your workflow, whether you are a graphic designer, developer or just a person who wants to make maps. Workshop aims to give participants the basic ability to work with QGIS, but also take a closer look on how to produce visually appealing maps and/or other geospatial visualizations, like cartograms, animations on weird data-art experiments. QGIS is an excellent free and open-source cross-platform desktop geographic information system (GIS) application that supports viewing, editing, and analysis of geospatial data. No prior experience in QGIS is required.

Introduction to visualizing data with code
Code is a powerful tool for data visualization but learning programming skills can seem daunting to people with non-technical background, such as designers, journalists, and communicators. This workshop is an easy first step for the complete beginner on the way to learning to code.
The practical part of the workshop will consist of three steps: preparing data for use, reading the data in and analyzing it, and creating simple visualizations based on it. We will work with the Python language, which is easy to learn, and has powerful capabilities for both processing and visualizing data. It is also somewhat similar in syntax to Javascript, which makes learning Python a good first step on the way for learning to create interactive visualizations using D3.js or other Javascript libraries.
