We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Data literacy is increasing its importance for current and future professionals. But what is ‘data literacy’ exactly and how do LUSEM educators work with it?
