The Climate Fresk workshop model is an engaging and informative way to learn about the science and effects of climate change in just 3 hours. It is designed for both novices and experts. With a team of up to 7 participants per table, you and your team will organize 42 Climate Fresk cards according to cause and effect and complete the Fresk by drawing the interconnections between the cards. You will then finish the workshop with a discussion on possible actions to combat climate change and join the ranks of some 2.1M+ Freskers worldwide.<\/p>\n

As humanity is faced with unprecedented challenges, \u201cClimate Fresk\u201d is a citizens\u2019 workshop that aims to raise awareness and understanding about climate change, and therefore to encourage positive actions at the personal and collective level.<\/p>\n

Conceived in France and based on the science of the IPCC 6th\u00a0Assessment Report, it explains the cause and consequences of climate change. It gives the opportunity to learn a lot in a short period of time and is meant for both novices and experts. More than 1.5 million people worldwide have participated in the workshop, and 70,000 have gone on to become facilitators.<\/p>\n

In just 3-hours, the workshop calls on participants\u2019 collective and creative intelligence to identify the cause-effect relationships between different components of climate change. As a team, you will be handed five sets of cards. When each new set is handed out you are asked to (re)arrange the cards on the table according to cause and consequence. The Fresk is revealed once all 42 cards are on the table. Team cooperation is very important and will get you from one set of cards to the next. A facilitator will guide and support you through the workshop.<\/p>\n
