One of the highlights was the ‘Climate Fresk’ challenge, a game developed by Cédric Ringenbach to raise awareness and understanding of climate change. This scientific, collaborative, and creative tool uses a set of 42 cards to explain how climate works and the consequences of its disruption.
During the workshop, the participants, among them many ESA interns, worked in groups and discussed the cards, which were sorted and connected in order of cause and effect, based on the IPCC report. They also had time to get creative and come up with a title for their posters.

After completing the posters, the groups discussed their feelings and brainstormed actionable steps to reduce and contain their carbon footprint. The workshop was both informative and fun, leaving participants feeling motivated and equipped to take positive actions towards climate change.
The Climate Fresk workshop showed how educational activities can be both enjoyable and effective in raising awareness about important issues like climate change.
