Climate Fresk

Workshop Overview                                                                                                                     

Climate Fresk is our 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 2 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 Futureproof Cumbria. 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 and in-depth knowledge of the local area, as well as significant training experience.

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.
