Abstract

The advancement of statistical literacy is a challenge for each statistical office. However the goals and willingness do not always connect with reality, especially at times of scarce resources and cut budgets. At such time new ways to improve statistical literacy must be adopted. Sharing experiences, learning by best practices, networking and cooperation are increasingly important forms of activities. This paper presents examples on activities carried on to this end. These examples are discussed form the point of view of different user groups, user friendliness and various forms of cooperation.
