N2 - Visualization literacy is the ability to read, write, and create graphical representations of data using digital or physical artifacts. With the rapid adoption of visualizations as a way to analyze and communicate data in every domain of the society, it is becoming essential for every citizen to understand and use visualizations, especially to prevent misuse and misinterpretation. At the same time, developing visualization literacy skills must be high on the education agenda to develop a society of critical and informed citizens, effective and responsible analysts and decision-makers, as well as honest advocates for the use of data that support human values.
