For International Women’s Day, 8 likeminded ladies involved in careers related to environmental/marine conservation and sustainability took part in a Climate Change Workshop run by @goumbook’s Natacha Seker @dubai4good, called Climate Fresk.
What is the Climate Fresk?
It’s a collaborative workshop on climate change with different sets of cards that teams of 5 to 8 people have to map in order to identify cause-effective relationships.
Climate change is often dealt with in one aspect only (fires, floods, melting ice, etc.), without understanding the picture as a whole.
This lack of perspective is disarming and anxiety-provoking: we are told everywhere that there is an emergency, without understanding why or how to act.
The 3-phase workshop was an eye opener and a great way to build on climate literacy, call to action, and team building. If anyone would like more information to have their own Climate Fresk Workshops for adults or kids, contact @goumbook for more info.
The workshop itself took three hours to complete, and afterwards we shared an Iftar menu at @21grams to take the time to discuss what we’d experienced, and for everyone to properly meet over a lovely Balkan meal.
