What others have said
“The facilitator had an amazing ability to engage us all in a challenging subject in an enjoyable and informative way. She was knowledgeable, friendly and ensured that no one was left out! I would highly recommend!” Jo, UK
“I wanted to thank YOU again for the amazing event you hosted yesterday! It truly opened up my eyes on climate change and made me learn so much, I’m so grateful for you putting this together” 🙌 Ines, Australia
“Do it do it do it! It was brilliant, peeps – a superb way of communicating, of provoking inquiry, and of triggering discussion. The facilitator was really good at letting us get stuck in but helping us through when we got stuck. We brought the extra challenge of “someone outside of the age range” and she supported him brilliantly too.” Kara, UK
Like detail?
Climate Fresk is a French-based NGO, with the aim to make climate science more accessible using graphs and data from the UN’s climate scientists, the IPCC*. The Climate Fresk is sponsored by Valérie Masson-Delmotte, Co-Chair of the IPCC working group I.
You will work as a team to find the cause & effect relationships between the 42 cards. Collectively, together you will build a collage explaining climate change.
Is there a cost?
It’s £5 deposit to reserve your spot. The small number of spaces is limited to bring about great discussion but when we offered community workshops for free folks didn’t show up, taking away from the experience of those who did show up. These community workshops are subsidised, our main objective is to reach as many people as possible. If you want to come but the fee is a barrier, email us and we will work with you. There is no obligation to pay any more. We are however building a sustainable business so you will be invited to top up what you think it’s worth, if you can, at the end of the workshop – via Paypal.
Suggested amount is £20 / $35 for individuals.
Caveat: These sessions are aimed at curious individuals. If you are joining us in a professional capacity we ask that you make a financial contribution to recognise the value being offered here. Suggested amount is £60/$75 + tax and we can issue you with an invoice.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not issue refunds for reservation fees. You are welcome to move your ticket to another date or to another community workshop.
