Join this engaging citizen workshop, like over 1.7 million others have so far!
It allows anyone to dynamically discuss our Western economies’ detrimental impact on climate change in general
The Climate Fresk (or Climate Collage) workshop takes the thick IPCC reports on climate change and translates them into 42 cards that participants organize in the order of cause-to-consequence.
Novices will discover the subject, and experts will deepen and reinforce their knowledge.
The workshop takes about 3 hours. For the first 1.5 hours, participants gather around a table in groups of 4-7, and collaboratively position the 42 cards, thereby building their own 'climate collage'. Participants then take 30 minutes to reflect on their learnings, addressing any complex emotions that may come up. The last hour is dedicated to brainstorming ideas for climate actions that are tailored to each participant's lifestyle, ensuring impactful and relevant solutions.
