The workshop follows the Climate Fresk format. Conceived in France, more than 1.4 million people around the world have participated in a workshop and some 60k have gone on to become facilitators.
This 3-hour workshop calls on participants’ collective and creative intelligence, to collaborate and identify the cause-effect relationships between the different components of climate change. As a team, you will be handed out 42 cards, in five sets. The cards are based on the science of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report. 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 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. The last part of the workshop is to table/share and discuss ideas for action from the personal to the community to the globe.
Here are some comments from Fresk participants:
“The Fresk gave us a higher, more comprehensive view of the complex interconnections between the causes and consequences of climate change.”
“I haven’t stopped thinking about the time we spent at the workshop, the power of those cards! It DID NOT feel like 3 hours!! Time flew!”
“In our house, even two weeks after the workshop, we’re still talking about the Fresk!”
