Codo’s support
Codo conducted a Biodiversity Collage workshop for employees of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical in Osaka in September 2023. The Biodiversity Collage is a three-hour workshop designed to enhance awareness and understanding of biodiversity. Using 39 cards based on the IPBES report, the workshop employs a game format that allows beginners and professionals to efficiently learn in a short period.
With Codo’s professional facilitators, 12 participants from various positions deepened their understanding of the causes and impacts of human activities on biodiversity. Participants noted increased awareness and new discoveries about biodiversity compared to before the workshop, emphasizing its effectiveness in promoting the understanding and importance of sustainable development.
A word from Kobayashi Pharmaceutical :
“Thank you very much for conducting this workshop. The catchy approach of experiencing the challenging theme of biodiversity through a card game allowed members from the participating departments to better grasp the concept. It seems that they not only deepened their understanding but also recognized the importance of biodiversity. This workshop was highly beneficial and would like to use it as a starting point to continue our internal discussions on the topic.”
