Infographics and data visualization workshops organized by OSCE Mission to Montenegro

The OSCE Mission to Montenegro completed on 9 December 2020 a series of training workshops for research staff of the Parliamentary Institute on infographics and data visuals as a modern way of presenting parliamentary work data.

During the 12 training days, in the period from October to- December, the participants learned how to present successfully a complex data in an eye-catching and easy to understand visual. Several infographics related to their daily work were produced.

“The lectures were of a very high quality and have been extremely useful,” said Jelena Ulic, Head of the Parliamentary Institute. “We learned the steps to create infographics related to our work and the trainer helped us to produce material that we can already use in the Research Centre, the Education Centre, the Library and the Parliamentary Budget Office.” 

Luka Lakovic, the expert who was leading the workshop said that Parliamentary Institute members gained knowledge, but also a passion for infographics. “They realized that creating infographics is not only an important professional skill, but it can be easy and fun,” he said.

During the training period, the Mission completed a baseline report related to the work of the Parliamentary Institute that confirmed the importance of enhancing data presentation material. “The Mission will continue supporting the Parliamentary Institute to enhance its services and effective communication with Members of the Parliament and citizens,” said Lia Magnaguagno, OSCE Democratization Programme Manager.
