The Climate Fresk is an interactive workshop that raises awareness about climate change in a fun and engaging way. Participants work in teams to arrange cards representing different aspects of climate science, creating a visual mural that illustrates the cause-and-effect relationships. The science-based workshop is led by trained facilitators and encourages collaborative learning and discussion. It is suitable for all knowledge levels and aims to inspire participants to take ambitious action on climate issues. It is engaging and accessible and makes complex scientific concepts understandable and actionable. We offer free community workshops on the first Saturday of every month. Tailor-made workshops, adapted to your group, are also available. If you'd like to bring an IGC-facilitated Climate Fresk to your organization, please contact us at climatefresk@igc.earth. For virtual workshops and in-person workshops outside of the San Diego area, submit a request via the Climate Fresk Association
