The census offers a once-in-a-decade opportunity to gain a uniquely comprehensive picture of who we are and how we live as a nation. It also reveals important differences within the country, providing a vital opportunity to analyse and draw attention to under-explored inequalities.

The Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College London and the Women’s Budget Group are running one-day workshops across the four UK nations to demonstrate how the latest census data can be accessed and analysed from a gender and intersectional perspective.

The sessions will provide:

• a better understanding of available census data

• ways of harnessing this data in your work use of it for your work and interests

• engagement with inspiring people working toward greater equality in the UK.

The workshops are aimed at anyone who feels this information might help them in their work, such as women’s organisations, local authorities, academics, or grassroots campaigners.

No previous data skills are required. We will have hands-on sessions so that you can work with people who may be more comfortable with the IT and analysis skills. Together, we will combine gendered research with lived experience to bring the raw data to life.

These workshops are free, and grants are also available to cover the cost of travel to and from the workshop – just indicate if you require this upon registration.

Please do spread the work across your networks, and we hope to see you there!
