« Climate Fresk » is a workshop conceived in France, that aims at raising awareness and understanding among people about climate change.

Based on the IPCC report, it explains the causes and consequences of climate change. It gives the opportunity to learn a lot in a very short period of time and is meant for both novices and experts.

That’s how the game works:

The workshop is based on a 42-card game. Each card represents a cause or a consequence of climate change.

As a team, guided by your facilitator, you are to find the cause-effect relationship between the different components of climate change. Collective intelligence will get you from one deck of card to the next!

This step-by-step reconstruction provides keys to understand the complexity of climate change.

The workshop’s programme:

– A Brief History Of “Climate Fresk”

– Icebreaker

– Reconstruction of the Climate Fresk guided by your facilitator

– A little pause in between if needed

– Creative phase

– Debrief time to share, express thoughts and feelings

REMEMBER: The workshop takes place online, a good internet connection is necessary.

community.

We will also harvest our flax which we are growing as part of a 1m2flaxscotland project and discuss slow fashion and clothing as an agricultural product.

There will be an after party in partnership with Settlement Project at Sett Studios (see images below for more information).

Join us to celebrate the vibrancy of Leith and connect with a wonderful community of like-minded people!
