Discover Fun, Collaborative Climate Learning
Are you curious about how and why climate change is happening? Want to learn in a way that’s interactive and engaging—no boring lectures or slides? Climate Fresk workshops are the perfect way to understand the science, connect with others, and feel inspired to take action.
What is Climate Fresk?
Okay, we admit it—the name sounds a bit odd! The word “Fresk” comes from the French word “fresque,” meaning a collage or mural. Think of it as a collaborative masterpiece where everyone contributes to understanding the big picture of climate change. Fun, right?
The Climate Fresk is an interactive, team-based workshop designed to make climate science accessible, engaging, and impactful. Based on the latest IPCC reports, it breaks down the complexities of climate change into a collaborative activity that’s engaging, thought-provoking, and empowering.
Why Join or Host a Climate Fresk?
- Learn Together: Gain a deeper understanding of climate change and a stronger connection to the social issues it creates in a relaxed, supportive environment.
- Collaborate: Work as a team to piece together the bigger picture using Climate Fresk cards.
- Inspire Action: Leave with practical ideas for reducing your impact and driving change in your community.
- Gain confidence: Ever wondered how extreme weather events like floods, fires, and heatwaves connect to a warming planet? Discover the patterns behind these events, understand the contributing factors, and build confidence to talk about climate change and make impactful choices.
How It Works
Interactive Card Game
Work as a team using your collective knowledge to explore the cause-and-effect relationships behind climate change. Using the cards, you’ll uncover how human activities impact the planet and create a clear picture of the science. I will guide you through this journey, helping you connect the dots and gain new insights.
Get Creative
Add your personal touch! Decorate and personalise your group’s Fresk to make it a unique and memorable creation. This part is all about creativity and celebration of what you’ve achieved together and provides space to process.
Reflect and Discuss
The story of climate change can be challenging to process. We reflect on what we’ve learned and share thoughts and feelings. This step helps move past feelings of despair or overwhelm, creating space for understanding and empowerment.
Move into Action
Wrap up by focusing on solutions! Together, you’ll brainstorm impactful actions—from individual lifestyle changes to community initiatives. This step can be tailored to identify actions most relevant to your context, ensuring practical and meaningful takeaways.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Climate Fresk for?
Anyone! Whether you’re new to climate topics or already well-informed, Climate Fresk offers something for everyone. The main fresk is ideal for ages 13 and up. There’s a simplified child version too.
What do I need to host a workshop?
Just a space, a group of participants, and tables. I’ll bring the rest! Materials and facilitation are included.
Can I come if I don't know anyone?
Absolutely! Most fresks are done with people who did not know each other at the start. You might even make some new like minded friends 🙂
How long is a workshop?
Workshops typically last 3 hours, but timing can be increased for more time discussing actions if required. It sounds like a long time but it goes really fast!
Is it suitable for children or schools?
Yes! There is a simplified version for children under 13 years, making climate science accessible and engaging for all but the very young. Under 8 years old may struggle to keep attention in a group with older participants.
Is it doable with a disability?
The workshop is typically done standing, but chairs can be provided if needed. However, as the activity is fast-paced and relies on discussions, it may be challenging for those with difficulties speaking, hearing, or seeing.
