How to explain statistics to non
specialist audience?
• Key role of communication
• How to be understood by journalists, politicians... who are not always statistically literate
• Understand better the constraints and expectations of your users/ providers/ partners

Current situation
Information products and services of official sources are not used by most of the citizen.
Even if
• new concepts , systems and surveys have been developed to match with social changes
• work is on the way either in the academic world or in the institutional one

What to do
• Presentation of ICT tools, of good practices related to measurement of social changes, progress, well being.
• But also work on how to bridge the gap between information availability and knowledge

What to do
Ask 4 questions:
• What do we have/use traditionally to present our statistical data?
• Are all these options effectively helping us to go toward our different audiences?
• What are the new possibilities that are opening in this area?
• Are they better suited for our targets and will they help improving communication on statistics?
