About this event
Understanding climate science is hard but it's important we get to grips with it, the Climate Collage turns climate science into a game. More than 90 000 people have played worldwide. Join us for a 3 hour workshop.
The workshop will be facilitated by Sophia Cheng, founder of With Many Roots, tackling the climate and inequality crisis via workshops, mentoring and words. She has facilitated more than 120 people through Climate Collage.
Climate Collage is a French-based NGO with the aim to make climate science more accessible using graphs and data from the UN's climate scientists; the IPCC*. The Climate Collage, founded by Cédric Rigenbach, is sponsored by Valérie Masson-Delmotte, Co-Chair of the IPCC working group .
You will work as a team to find the cause & effect relationships between the 42 cards. Collectively, together you will build a collage explaining climate change.
*IPCC stands for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
What you will get out of it
* A clearer understanding of the cause and effect of the climate science
