Join us for this interactive, engaging and collaborative in-person workshop to understand the fundamentals of climate science.
Climate Fresk is a powerful, interactive workshop that transforms complex climate science into clear, easy-to-understand cause-and-effect relationships — helping participants explore how everything connects, why it matters and what action is needed.
This three-hour session uses a hands-on, visual approach to unpack the science behind climate change and spark meaningful conversations about solutions. It’s collaborative, engaging, and designed to empower people with the knowledge and confidence to take action.
Using a set of pictorial cards with facts from the latest IPCC report, facilitated by our expert climate trainers you’ll work in small groups to explore the causes and consequences of climate change and create a unique flowchart fresco – or fresk!
What makes this course impactful?
The facts in Climate Fresk are sourced from the most respected scientific publications: the IPCC reports. These are the same reports that inform global political and economic decision-making at the highest level. Climate Fresk is neutral and objective and presents only established scientific facts.
The Climate Fresk methodology doesn’t involve an expert presenting information to the group ; instead, it requires all participants to take an active role in the building-up of the Fresk, becoming participative learners.
Climate Fresk involves discussion in small groups, around tables. We book spacious venues 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.
Have any questions? Please do get in touch, and we will be happy to help.
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, in-depth knowledge of the local area as well as significant training experience.
