What is Climate Fresk and Biodiversity Collage?<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n“Climate Fresk” and “Biodiversity Collage” are both card-game based workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/codo.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Logo-Climate-Fresk-2.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDeveloped in France in 2015, this climate change education workshop has been used by more than 1 million participants in more than 50 countries around the world. Using a card game format, it was designed based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, and is designed to help participants understand how climate change works through a hands-on experience. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLike Climate Fresk, this French workshop uses cards to teach the connections between biodiversity and the causes and consequences of its collapse. This workshop is based on the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) report. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe run of the open workshops<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe have held 3 open workshops in 2023.Each workshop was attended by people from various industries, including the consulting industry, auto parts industry, education industry, insurance industry, transportation and energy industry, and local government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After an initial ice-breaking, a brief explanation of the rules is conducted by the facilitator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003Rules of Climate Fresk\/Biodiversity Collage<\/strong>
<\/mark>
\u30fbWe use about 40 cards depicting events related to climate change or biodiversity
\u30fbThere are 5 steps, and about 6-8 cards are distributed at each session.
\u30fbParticipants work in teams to line up the distributed cards in a cause\/effect relationship.
\u203b Biodiversity Collage will begin with an ecosystem game to deepen participants’ understanding of ecosystems.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne of the key points of these games is discussion<\/strong> and cooperation <\/strong>among all team members. Although both Climate Fresk and Biodiversity Collage have examples of how to arrange the cards, reaching the correct answer is not the goal<\/strong> of the workshop. Rather, as the names Fresk and Collage suggest, the goal is for everyone to create their own piece of art by cooperating together. By going through the process of finding the connections among the cards in cooperation with team members, we believe that participants will be able to understand the global-scale issues of climate change and biodiversity collapse and the role they can play.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow, let’s have a look at the workshop. Since it was the first time everyone met, they were a bit shy\u2026 but everyone finished arranging the first cards without any problems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/codo.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0629.jpg\")
\u25b2 In steps 1 and 2, everyone looks nervous<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter each step, a debriefing is held. All participants will reconfirm the connections between the cards laid out. The facilitator will also explain key points so that participants can acquire a solid knowledge of climate change and biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/codo.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/5950eef6-a8be-4482-b784-03c9e0676dd9-1.jpg\")
\u25b2 Don’t worry if you don’t feel confident! With the support of team members and the facilitator, everyone is welcome to try debriefing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nToward the end of the game, you can feel the team’s unity growing. Discussions become more active, and the steady stream of cards is a sight to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/codo.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0ce6e502-cacc-4f07-9078-60bb1c59ccb8-edited.jpg\")
\u25b2 At steps 4 and 5, the discussion becomes lively.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinally, all the cards are lined up! After 90 minutes of card games, it is time for a creative break. After the cards are lined up, we decorate the Fresk \/ Collage and come up with an original. The individual personalities of each player are now highlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They all write down their action plans assiduously, reflecting on what they can and want to do<\/p>\n\n\n\n
