Guatemala’s National Institute of Statistics (INE) has developed educational materials aimed at children, introducing statistics through a playful approach. Through memory games, coloring pages, and challenges, the institution seeks to transform numerical data into accessible stories that spark children’s curiosity. This pedagogical strategy enables new generations to understand national realities without being overwhelmed by traditional technical complexity. The initiative underscores that statistical information is not exclusive to experts, but rather a common good belonging to everyone. By facilitating early exposure to basic concepts of data collection and analysis, it helps build a statistical culture from a young age. This empowers children with critical tools to observe, compare, and understand their surroundings, fostering informed and active civic participation in the future. This approach is relevant to the open data movement because it demonstrates that transparency and access to information are effective only when communicated in an inclusive and comprehensible manner. Democratizing knowledge requires adapting language and formats to diverse audiences, ensuring that public information is truly usable by all members of society, regardless of age or technical background.
