Take part in a workshop Become a facilitator Request a dedicated workshop* *For businesses, NGOs, educational institutions and public bodies Play your part in the climate transition In order to take action and build solutions, we first need to understand the problem. Climate Fresk is a powerful tool for providing a quality climate education. It is accessible to anyone and can be scaled quickly within an organisation or community. 1 million participants 45,000+ volunteers 130 countries 45+ languages It’s scientific The facts in Climate Fresk are sourced from the most respected scientific publications: the IPCC reports. These are the same reports that inform global political and economic decision-making at the highest level.Climate Fresk is neutral and objective and presents only established scientific facts. It’s accessible By activating the group’s collective intelligence, Climate Fresk workshops enable participants to take ownership of the subject matter. The Climate Fresk methodology doesn’t involve an expert presenting information to the group ; instead, it requires all participants to take an active role in the building-up of the Fresk, becoming participative learners.As participants link the causes and effects of climate change, they are able to take a step back and understand the systemic nature of the challenges. It’s effective Through a shared understanding of the mechanisms at work, Climate Fresk enables both individuals and organisations to have an open and positive conversation about climate solutions.Participants leave the workshop having formed a strong bond with each other, and are well equipped to implement the climate actions that they have identified. How it works 3 hours 1 facilitator for 6-20 participants In person or online versions adults and children (9+) Become a facilitator Become a facilitator Anyone can do it You don’t need to be a climate expert to facilitate Climate Fresk workshops. The short training will teach you more about the climate crisis and give you the tools to run workshops for those around you. Maximise your impact It’s when you grasp the extent of the problem that you really step up. As a facilitator, you can have a great impact simply by sharing this knowledge with your friends, family, clients, colleagues and the wider public. There is huge demand There is a pressing need for climate change training and demand is growing. Whether it’s running a workshop for your neighbours or consulting for a large corporation, there are so many opportunities to get involved. We’re waiting for you! They're talking about us "The Climate fresk generates enthusiasm: one finds in it the joy of understanding, of acting together, of stimulating one’s creativity – all of this without denying the seriousness of the situation nor the urgency of acting efficiently, with solidarity and in an informed manner. Joy is found in reopening possibilities. Well done and thank you." Grégory DoucetMayor of Lyon "How does climate change work? First option to know the answer: read the IPCC report. Guaranteed result, but 2000 pages to go through! Second option: play the Climate Fresk. This game allows one to understand the mechanisms behind this eminently complex subject. To try it is to approve it!" Jean-Marc JancoviciMember of the High Council for Climate (France) "We need a common understanding of the current state of scientific knowledge in order to start acting constructively. I invite all elected officials to take part in a Climate Fresk workshop in order to really understand the implications of climate change." Laurence Maillart-MéhaigneriePresident of the "Climate & Resilience" Parliamentary Commission "There is hope, because the people have not yet been made aware. (...) Let's make this our main priority. Let’s unite, and spread awareness. Once we become aware, then we can act, and then change will come." Greta ThunbergGreta Thunberg "This massive amplification of the Fresk’s activity will allow us tomorrow to prove ourselves to our clients, schools, territories and all of our stakeholders." Carine de BoissezonChief Sustainability Officer - EDF "When one reads something about climate change in the media, it often only concerns one aspect of the problem and it is difficult to perceive its systemic aspect. With the Climate Fresk, one understands in record time that everything is connected and urgent action is required!"
