General information about CorrelAid Education.

Our organisation's purpose: education! 📚 We firmly believe that knowledge should be shared so that everyone can benefit from the advantages of data-driven decision-making - regardless of age, level of education or professional background. That's why we offer numerous programmes for non-profits and volunteers.

An overview of our work

• We share our knowledge, code and materials publicly where possible while adhering to privacy guidelines.

  • or visit our GitHub.

• We offer a variety of workshops and courses on different data-related topics that directly support NPOs or volunteers in gaining and improving skills in data literacy and data analysis.

• We bring #data4good to civil society with our two educational courses R Lernen (2021-2025) and Daten verstehen und nutzen (2024-2025) for engaged people in NPOs.

• The CorrelCompact workshop series is a course-accompanying offer to deepen basic knowledge for NPOs.

• In our community workshops, volunteers from our network share their knowledge with other volunteers.

• Registration for our events usually takes place via our event calendar.

• The three-phase data incubator is CorrelAid's new training and project format starting from autumn 2025. In the first phase of the data incubator, participants learn new knowledge and skills in the practical, data literacy or volunteer track that optimally prepare them for planning and implementing a data project. In the scoping and counselling phase, a data project is scoped and announced for volunteers. The development of a project team begins. In the subsequent practical phase, the project is implemented by volunteers in cooperation with participants from NPOs.

👥 Who we are

In addition to our numerous volunteer tutors and workshop holders who are committed to educational purposes at CorrelAid, the Education team consists of a permanent full-time team. You can find an overview on our homepage under the Team tab.

📎 How we organise ourselves

We plan all workshops and courses via Slack. We exchange ideas there and also like to meet up in a huddle or via Zoom to talk in person. Our #education channel is the central place for all educational matters. In the #volunteering-oppurtunities channel, we often publish volunteer positions such as tutor activities. There are also separate planning channels for our courses.
