Following the successful presence of the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) in the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) in 2018, when ELSTAT presented for the first time its actions for “Fostering Statistical Literacy in Greece”, the focus of this year’s participation in the 84th TIF continued to be the promotion of this strategic choice.

More specifically, during the 84th TIF, the visitors at ELSTAT stand (No 15, stand 27) had the opportunity to be informed on the actions of ELSTAT that are implemented or under construction, per educational level, aiming at bringing pupils, students and teaching staff closer to the work of ELSTAT and the way official statistics are developed, produced and disseminated. Moreover, they had the opportunity to learn about all the statistical surveys conducted by ELSTAT and the role and legal framework governing the Hellenic Statistical System.

During the TIF, ELSTAT organised a set of lectures on statistics, which were attended by pupils coming from Secondary Education Schools of Northern Greece. The pupils and the visitors at ELSTAT stand were informed on the mission of ELSTAT and its actions for Fostering Statistical Literacy in Greece, the Memoranda of Understanding with the Ministry of Education and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, as well as on the European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS), a programme of post graduate education on official statistics.

It's worth noticing that this year, ELSTAT presented, for the first time, to the general public the electronic platform “Census at School”, which is an educational programme developed by ELSTAT, with own resources, aiming at training pulls on statistics, through educational material, encompassing detailed guidelines and the procedure for conducting a statistical census survey.
