How can communities use data not just for reporting, but for building relationships and co-creating programs that matter? In this interactive session, participants will explore how to use data collectively to inform and deepen community engagement. We'll share practical tools and frameworks for collaborative data collection, consent, ownership, and stewardship that center community voices and equity. Participants will learn how shared data can spark dialogue, inspire program design, and strengthen accountability. Drawing from real-world case studies, we'll highlight how communities have turned shared insights into meaningful, community-driven action. Attendees will leave with strategies and templates to support equitable, data-informed program development in their own collectives.
