Hamilton Climate Fresk Showcase

Hamilton: Come and experience the global Climate Fresk Game played by over 1.9 million people worldwide

Do you want to be part of the solution to tackle climate change but don’t have the time to become a climate scientist? Join us for a 3-hour interactive workshop to explore the causes and consequences of climate disturbances.

Based on the latest IPCC reports and played by over 1.9 million people worldwide, this collaborative workshop allows you to understand the key issues of climate change to empower you to take action.

Hamilton City Council's newly trained facilitators will guide you through the journey and talk about why they chose to use this format to engage staff and community members around climate action. 

How it works:
- The workshop is based on a 42-card game. Each card represents an element, a cause or a consequence of climate change.
- In teams, guided by your facilitator, you are encouraged to find the cause-effect relationship between the different components of climate change. Collective intelligence will get you from one deck of card to the next!
- This step-by-step reconstruction provides keys to understand the complexity and develop an overview of climate change.

Agenda
- Introduction, 15 mins
- Fresk Card Game, 1 1/2 hours

Climate Fresk is an excellent opportunity to understand the key elements of climate change and what you can do to be part of the solution. No previous climate knowledge is needed.
