With the growing volume of data, there is an increasing demand for information that is clearly presented and accessible to diverse audiences. Narrative data visualization addresses this need by combining data representation with storytelling elements to convey insights aligned with the author’s intent. To explore - in a hands-on perspective - the concepts associated with narrative data visualization, this course introduces its key concepts, including narrative genres, components, and storytelling techniques. Participants will examine real-world examples to explore how different narrative structures and design choices influence user understanding and engagement. They will then apply this knowledge by creating a low-fidelity prototype using pen and paper, focusing on conceptual structure, narrative flow, and visual organization. This hands-on approach encourages critical thinking about storytelling in data design. Participants - from the general public with no specific technical background - by the end of the course, will be able to plan effective, audience-centered narrative visualizations.
