Climate Fresk

Screenshot 2024-08-21 14.59.30

The science of climate change can be challenging, yet solving the crisis means we all need some level of knowledge about it. Boost your understanding with the Climate Fresk, an interactive, in-person 3 hour workshop with experienced facilitator, Sarah Poppy Jackson.

By turning UN science reports (IPCC 6th assessment report) into a game, it makes climate change more accessible. Now played by more than 1.7 million people worldwide, be part of a movement of people raising their climate literacy.

These interactive workshops are delivered to teams and groups to help people process systems change in a safe, non-judgemental space. 

Imaginative cards are used in order to learn the drivers, mechanisms and consequences of climate change. There are five rounds of engaging with the cards and the concepts, then the game is followed by a debrief and discussion about next steps. The whole process can be tailored to your specific group or team.

At the end of the workshop you will have:

-A clearer understanding of the cause and effect of the climate science
-A visual overview of the interconnectedness of the concepts
-Considered how you feel about the climate crisis and what actions you might take
-Tested your own knowledge and assumptions
-A powerful shared experience your group/team can relate to
-A PDF output of your group work and a URL packed with extra resources you can keep coming back to for reference and further learning
-Tailored discussion to meet your group’s needs
-All participants now on the same page ready for meaningful discussions on solutions and action!

Who is the Climate Fresk workshop for?

-Anyone curious to learn more about ‘the basics’ of climate change
-Anyone wanting to talk more about climate change and needing a firmer foundation of the science
-Those already well versed in climate change looking to test their knowledge and assumptions
