Yesterday, Thursday January 21st 2021, the first training session took place for teachers enrolled in The specific Training Plan on open data within the Barcelona Dades Obertes Challenge initiative, which links the programme of the same name of Convocatòria unificada de programes del Consorci d'Educació de Barcelona with the contest organised by Barcelona City Council.

The session consisted of an initial explanation of the initiative, the main concepts of open data and open data portals, focusing on the Open Data BCN portal.

In order to familiarise the teachers with the data published on the portal, the trainers proposed a first exploration of the data, obtaining some initial ideas of topics that they could work on with their students.

The circumstances arising from COVID-19 meant that all the sessions in this edition were virtual, in contrast to previous years when they were face-to-face.

Once again, we thank all the teachers for their interest and we hope that you will find the experience very interesting.

The document and the video of the session are published in the section 'Training materials'.
