The rapid increase in the availability of data, as a result of the spread of digital technologies and developments in artificial intelligence (AI), has created unprecedented possibilities for extracting knowledge in a wide range of scientific and social fields. Data science, as an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the analysis and exploitation of data, is a crucial tool for understanding and addressing modern social challenges, such as climate change and social inequalities. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted, free access to data without the necessary training in their analysis and interpretation can lead to wrong decisions with serious social consequences. Research shows that a large percentage of secondary school graduates have difficulty assessing the credibility of scientific and political claims, interpreting data and recognizing biases in online sources. This finding highlights the need to integrate data science into education,

so that citizens can develop the necessary skills for critical and responsible management of information in the modern digital age. This paper examines DataScEd4CiEn and DataSETUP, two European research projects that seek to strengthen the teaching of data science in educational programs, preparing students and teachers for the demands of the digital age.
