Launched in 2012, Visualizing Palestine<\/a> is the first project of Visualizing Impact<\/a> (VI)<\/a>, an independent, non-profit “laboratory for innovation” (…) aiming at: “breaking new grounds in socially aware data science, technology, and design” and “mainstreaming marginalized perspectives on critical social issues.”<\/p>\n

Visualizing Palestine<\/a> publishes data-driven visual tools, in Arabic and English, providing context and analysis to mainstream coverage of news related to Palestine. The multidisciplinary team (scholars, designers, technologists, and communications specialists) collaborates with both individuals (civil society actors, advisors) and organizations to support their impact in advocating for justice and equality. In addition, their by-weekly infographics are heavily used for teaching in higher education, and exhibitions. Last, Visualizing Palestine<\/a> regularly facilitates storytelling workshops (in Beirut, Lebanon), and can provide student groups with a VP Toolkit<\/em> to help raise awareness on campus.<\/p>\n

Visualizing Palestine<\/a> is co-funded by individual benefactors, grants and sponsors, as well as by crowdfunding efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
