Climate Fresk
The science of the climate 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. Following last November’s brilliant Climate Fresk we are pleased to welcome Sarah back to run this session for SWIDN again.
By turning UN science reports (IPCC 6th assessment report) into a game, it makes climate science more accessible. Now played by more than 2 million people worldwide, you can be part of a movement of people raising their climate literacy in a safe, non-judgemental space.
This interactive workshop starts with a deck of cards placed in order of cause and effect, that highlights the drivers, mechanisms and consequences of the climate crisis. In the second part of the workshop, we sit with the difficulty in what we have learnt. This helps us move away from despair and into the third part, where we discuss strategic individual and collective actions.
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 follow up with extra resources you can keep coming back to for reference and further learning
-Tailored discussion to meet your group’s needs
-All participants 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
