[Event] Understanding the Complexity of Climate Change: The Climate Collage Workshop
Date: 19 June 2021
Time: 3:30 - 6:30pm GMT +4
Place: network.interstory.com
Available to all members of interstory, our professional network for people working in programs.
Session Description
The Climate Collage is a three-hour workshop, facilitated by Alex Misseri, to understand how the climate is changing and discuss what we can do about it.
The workshop is interesting because it enables participants to:
- Understand how the climate is changing. Everyone talks about climate change these days, but few understand what is actually happening.
- Understand the consequences of a changing climate, and connect them to our daily behaviors.
- Brainstorm initiatives that we can take at an individual and group level to improve the situation.
The workshop is fun because it is:
- Accessible: It's easy to understand, get into and contribute to, whatever your character and knowledge on the topic.
- Collaborative: People learn thanks to others, through the knowledge shared and discussions that happen.
- Creative: Some time is dedicated to making the collage artistic by drawing on it and giving it a title.
Session Format
The workshop is divided into three distinct moments:
- 100 minutes: Positioning the cards - defining causal links between the 42 cards.
- 20 minutes: Creative design - finalizing the collage by adding draws and giving it a title.
- 60 minutes: Solutions discussion - brainstorm concrete actions to take in order to change course.
MURAL, "a digital workspace for visual collaboration," will be used during this workshop.
