Climate Fresk
Subsidised places available for SMEs in the Westmorland & Furness area (70% off) - see ticket info below.
Workshop Overview
Climate Fresk is our brand new, half day training offering to complement the full day Climate and Carbon Literacy related courses we already deliver.
Climate Fresk is an extremely interactive group activity where a facilitator uses a pack of cards to support a group of people to map the causes and effects of the climate crisis, and together, through discussion, unpick the complexities, interrelated issues and feedback loops involved. It is a really engaging, collaborative method for understanding the fundamentals of climate science. It uses 42 ‘cards’ drawn directly from the latest IPCC reports and gives a deep dive into the whole climate system. The visual and interactive nature stimulates discussion, debate and group problem-solving. And it is really good fun! You will join a rapidly growing movement of 1.8 million participants worldwide. You can click on the Climate Fresk logo below to find out more about the movement.
The course will be delivered by expert trainers working on behalf of Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS). We co-chair the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership and run Cumbria’s Climate and Carbon Literacy training programme. A certified Platinum Carbon Literate Organisation, our team of certified Carbon Literate trainers bring decades of practical emission-reduction expertise, in-depth knowledge of the local area as well as significant training experience.
Please see below for further details about this training. If you have any further questions please contact [email protected].

If you give us your details for car sharing on the booking form, we will be in touch to connect you to others looking/offering lifts but cannot guarantee we can link you up to a lift.
The limited free parking on site is usually taken by staff of the buidling, so please plan ahead to park elsewhere at nearby pay and display car parks.
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 photographer know on the day.
