Climate Fresk Citizens Workshop

Are you concerned about our changing climate? 

Did the intense weather events and many wildfires this past year make you anxious and wonder what you could do to help? 

Are you overwhelmed with the amount of climate information available online, and are in search of robust research-backed information? 

Join us for a Climate Fresk!

The Climate Fresk is a highly collaborative and engaging educational tool based on the conclusions of the IPCC report. Through a series of creative and collaborative exercises, participants learn the basics of climate change and its impacts, and are empowered to drive change in their personal lives and in their communities.

Conceived in France and based on the science of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report, this workshop has been facilitated for over 2 million people worldwide, in over 50 countries and in over 50 languages. Nearly half the participants (80,000+) have gone on to become Climate Fresk facilitators.

You can learn more about the Fresk on the New York Times, NPR and CBC Radio.

PHASES OF THE WORKSHOP :

1. Introductions and ice-breakers (fun ice-breakers, we promise!)
2. Building the climate collage, guided by your facilitator
3. Reflection and check-in
4. Discussion, with a focus on individual and collective climate action
