This is a three-hour workshop in English on the fundamental science behind climate change run by Climate Fresk. This session will include a three-hour workshop, as well as an hour of drinks and networking after the activities. We will meet on February 20 @ 3:00 pm at 667 Howe Street. The event will be followed by a networking open to all.
How it works
Participants gather around a table in teams of 4 to 7 people. They discover the cards representing the different components of climate change and work together to connect them in order to highlight the links between cause and effect. A Fresker supervises one or more teams and guides them using a collective intelligence approach. The Fresker then facilitates an exchange to debrief and explore individual and collective solutions and broaden reflection beyond climate issues.
Climate Fresk
The Climate Fresk NGO has been working to bring people and organizations on board with the climate transition since the end of 2018. We do this by enabling the rapid growth of climate education and a shared understanding of the challenge that climate change represents. We began this mission in France and are now active in over 40 countries around the world. Climate Fresk has been growing exponentially, doubling the total number of workshop participants every 5 months. A testament to the educational tool itself, and our user license.
