Data Walk Process
Define Data
• Together, we ask ‘what is data’? The answer depends on who is in the room and what we want to achieve
• We map or note down some of our ideas on a board or sheet of paper
Form groups and assign roles
- We split into small groups of 4-5 people – self-organized based on interest
- We discuss where we might walk, and what areas around might have different data to observe
- Roles are assigned

Walk!
• The groups walk in different directions
• Each group must return with photo, map and ONE ILLUSTRATIVE OBJECT
Tell Stories
- Groups report back and narrate their walk and how they defined, observed, or questioned data
- Brainstorm possibilities for creative responses
Create responses
• Depending on the group’s interest and needs, discuss and stage a response
• Responses could be: community action, critical design to address issues identified on walks
• Responses might be addressed in a separate workshop
