This article aims to answer all the questions you may have regarding the organization of a Climate Fresk in your company. If you have any remaining questions, please feel free to contact me.
The Climate Fresk is a workshop that raises awareness about climate change based on solid scientific foundations and the principles of collective intelligence.
Collaborative, engaging, empowering but not guilt-inducing, this workshop promotes team cohesion and is the ideal event to involve your employees in your company’s climate strategy.
As a certified facilitator and trainer, I have the pleasure of leading this workshop since 2020, and I witness the impact it has on the hundreds of participants I have had the chance to reach.
As I write these lines, nearly 2 million people around the world have participated in a Climate Fresk. For nearly half of them, it was a workshop organized by their company.
The Climate Fresk lasts 3 hours, ideally 3.5 hours in a corporate setting.
The workshop requires a minimum of 5 participants. Beyond that, anything is possible. There is no maximum number of participants for a workshop.
You can organize it for your team, your department, or even all of your staff. If the number of participants is large (sometimes reaching several hundred people), they will be divided into multiple groups, and a team of facilitators will be mobilized.
A Climate Fresk workshop unfolds in several phases, particularly:
I will provide all the necessary materials. The only thing you need to arrange on your side is to provide a suitable space for the number of participants and large tables on which the fresk will be constructed.
The workshop can be organized in any type of environment, from your meeting room to a campsite in nature during a retreat. Anything is possible.
The workshop can be facilitated in French, English, and Dutch.
The Climate Fresk can be organized as part of a training session, seminar, or intelligent team-building event.
By raising awareness among your teams about the impact of climate change and the urgency to take action, the workshop fosters your employees’ engagement in all your climate initiatives:
Absolutely. While the scientific part remains unchanged, I systematically adapt the discussion — particularly the actions part — to the company in which I am working.
We can also co-construct this part together based on the information you have available (such as your company’s carbon footprint assessment) and the objectives you aim to achieve by organizing the fresk.
The workshop is designed for anyone, regardless of their profile, role in the organization, or level of knowledge or commitment.
Not at all ! It is my role to simplify the information. No special knowledge is required to participate in a Climate Fresk.
Absolutely. Those who are knowledgeable appreciate the opportunity to delve deeper into certain aspects and to leave with a systemic understanding of the phenomenon.
Moreover, beyond the scientific information shared, the transformative power of the Climate Fresk also lies in the quality of the exchanges and discussions among participants.
If your company and your employees are already highly engaged in climate issues, the Climate Fresk becomes a space where your purpose will take on real significance and where employees’ pride will often be expressed.
Yes, it is possible and often recommended.
This allows you to deploy the workshop on a large scale and independently without needing to call in an external facilitator. Depending on the number of employees in your organization, there is also a financial incentive to have internal facilitators.
As a certified trainer, I can train your employees to facilitate the Climate Fresk. Please feel free to contact me if this option interests you.
As a long-time facilitator (one of the first in Belgium) and a certified trainer, I have led over a hundred Climate Frescoes, impacting more than 1,500 participants across various contexts and industries.
I enjoy combining my experience with the tool and my in-depth knowledge of businesses to offer workshops that are perfectly tailored to the challenges of your industry.
As a former international coordinator for the Climate Fresk in Belgium, I maintain close connections with both the Belgian network and the international network of professional Climate Fresk facilitators. This enables me to organize a large-scale deployment of the workshop for numerous employees across your different subsidiaries and in multiple languages.
I can also assist you in independently deploying the Climate Fresk in your organization by training internal facilitators.
“I was curious, and now I am convinced! The Fresk itself and the way it is facilitated stimulate the systemic thinking that is often lacking in sustainability discussions. The tone used—’urgent and positive’—makes the session energizing. This is an exercise to be deployed at will!”
“I loved this team-building activity. Being able to diagram the mechanisms influencing global warming allows for a much better understanding of the phenomenon and, therefore, how to take action.”
“In just one afternoon, the Climate Fresk helps us better understand the ins and outs of global warming. It is a real awakening that inspires us to implement daily actions that are beneficial for our planet and our future.”
While complying with the CSRD is a significant undertaking, it would be a mistake to view it solely as a reporting obligation. In fact, the directive provides a framework for highlighting crucial questions about the future of your company in a rapidly changing world.
Let’s explore how to make the most of the CSRD to best prepare your company for the future, whether or not you are formally subject to this directive.
