Word clouds

イメージ
Word clouds (also known as text clouds or tag clouds) work in a simple way: the more a specific word appears in a source of textual data (such as a speech, blog post, or database), the bigger and bolder it appears in the word cloud. The following two word clouds were created from the European Commission about raising awareness on discrimination: European Commission . (n.d.).

Most people agreed that they enjoyed our NGO video, saying that the quality made it seem really professional. "Their explanation was so clear and specific! And the questionnaire was very interesting as well." commented one person. Overall we received really good feedback but didn't get constructive criticism. We would have liked to know what we could've improved to make our presentation better for future projects. However, we  were glad due to the support and the compliments. Lastly, we would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to all the people who took the time to follow us on this journey. We didn't imagine that people from all the world would take part in this and contribute to our research. We learnt so many things about discrimination and made us more passionate. We hope that someday we can make a world where we live without putting labels on ea
