This document discusses Statistics Norway's efforts to effectively communicate statistical information to young people in schools. It outlines challenges such as teachers having little time and specific learning goals for their students. Statistics Norway addresses this by providing updated information through their website, newsletters, and courses for both students and teachers. They plan to expand these outreach efforts by holding a European statistics competition, creating materials for younger children, and developing more e-learning and webinar opportunities. The overall goal is to help the next generation understand and think critically about reliable statistics.
