What’s Stopping Us Stopping Climate Change?

Thursday, 28 September, 2023 - 18:30

Climate Fresk Workshop at Zero Carbon Guildford

Saturday, 18 February, 2023 - 10:00 to 13:00

Do you feel confident discussing the science behind the climate crisis? Is your organisation searching for a tool to increase action and awareness? Climate Fresk is an interactive workshop which helps both understanding and action. It all starts with a card game, but from there it can lead to wide-ranging discussions on the nature of the climate crisis, what we can do to help and how we can talk about it to climate sceptics. It encourages people to consider the big picture and to find leverage points to maximise individual and group impacts.
