Climate Fresk

Climate Fresk Workshop – Understand the Climate Crisis & Take Action

Workshop Overview                                                                                                                     

Climate Fresk is a powerful, interactive workshop that transforms complex climate science into clear, easy-to-understand cause-and-effect relationships — helping participants explore how everything connects, why it matters and what action is needed.

This three-hour session uses a hands-on, visual approach to unpack the science behind climate change and spark meaningful conversations about solutions. It’s collaborative, engaging, and designed to empower people with the knowledge and confidence to take action.

Climate Fresk is a group workshop using a set of pictorial cards with facts from the latest IPCC report, and facilitated by our expert climate trainers, helping participants to explore the causes and consequences of climate change to create a unique flowchart fresco – or fresk!

Additional information

Climate Fresk involves discussion in small groups, around tables. We have booked a spacious venue but there will still inevitably be background noise from other tables. If that would cause issues for you, please contact us in advance of booking to discuss options.

There will be photos taken on the day of the training session in action, for us to use in publicity materials. If you do not wish to be included in any photographs, please let the trainer and/or photographer know on the day.
