From February 10-14, 2025, #LoveDataWeek is celebrated internationally to explore critical questions about data ownership and origins. This year's theme challenges us to examine where data comes from and who owns it before we use it in our work.
Whether you're a first-time participant or a returning supporter to #LoveDataWeek, here are 10 ways to celebrate and get involved:
- Participate virtually in Love Data Week activities through this calendar of events.
- Listen to the NSVRC Podcast The Resource, to lessons learned from sexual violence prevention field.
- Browse the NSVRC online Evaluation Toolkit to learn how the sexual violence prevention field is using data.
- Take NSVRC’s recently expanded course on evaluation. Course is free to access, but you will be asked to create an account.
- Practice your skills with NSVRC’s Data Analysis course. Again, this is totally free to access, but does require an account to our campus.
- Host your own event or activity to showcase impactful local data-driven research and evaluation efforts. Check out ideas and resources from the 2025 toolkit.
- Post your own Love Data Week activities on social media with the hashtag #LoveData25.
- Use a cool Love Data Week background graphic as your Zoom background or screensaver.
- Recognize community members, students, and colleagues who love data with Love Data Week stickers.
