• Lava keyboard - don't touch a participant's keyboard
• Actively go and ask how participants are getting on, don't wait for questions
• Tell a story - explain what they are going to learn, what they have accomplished and how it fits into a bigger picture of their work
• Parking lot - create a place to put thoughts and questions not included in the agenda or curriculum to come back to at the end
• Make sure participants leave knowing what’s possible, where to look for help and are armed with a problem-solving mentality

• run installation parties
• expect honest feedback

• Before the workshop you can ask participants to do some reading or exercises to familiarise themselves with a concept or tool                              
• Survey participants in advance to establish what tools people have used and their skill level.  For example, open-form surveys (do you work with technology X [_] once a week [_] every day [_] never?) help set expectations of participants _and_ gather realistic self-assessment
• Have progress reports and demos — even in-between — to keep participants on a deadline
• Use sign language (a wave for "slow down," a rabbit for "going down a rabbit hole," etc.), especially good if you have big groups who speak different languages and they want to communicate with the facilitator without interrupting

• This is a Change of mentality as a journalist. Numbers are not only for  programmers or scientists. So It’s necessary to Give a context of data  journalist. 
•  It is important to translate all the terms and process we are talkin about in order to make it understandable for our audience. 
• People learn more when you the data journalist explain the all process,  the journalist process we mean: have an idea, talk to your editor in  chief, get some data, write a story, try some visualizations… 
• It’s difficult to mentalize that as a journalist you’re not working any  more alone, you have a team with programers, designers and even  journalists. 
• It’s a good lesson to plan 2 full days learning how to work with data  tools. People get connected an they can live the experience as a  process. 
• Speakers are also teachers during the training days + hackathon  

• Teach in a easy and simple way. Slowly, more slowly, and step by step. If you don't, people get nervious and get blocked. 
• You need to have all documentation before and beyond. What are you going  to teach and which feedback you get? KJust to leave written or   recorded for further events. 
• To insist: Better to focus in local and small stories.  
• Teach data journalism using visualization and interactive easy tools. 
• During the sessions, somebody helping people to solve their problems.   
• Create the habit to self-learning: explore new tools, to attend events  related data journalism, to be in touch with programmers or designers,  profiles that you never reach before.  

• Good Experience of data journalism process with designers, programmers and journalist. 
• One of the works is published by one spanish online newspaper which also helps on the organization 
• Most of the teams or the works keep alive after the workshop 

• The main lesson is  that you can’t pretend a very open subject: eg, Energy and Health. 
• Need to concrete and start for a small part unless if the subject is very unknown. 
• The more information you provide the better results you get  

• It’s a good solution, but you can’t improvise. You need to dedicate some  time to communicate and engage community that wants to learn.
