FREE
Climate Fresk (Climate Change Learning Workshop)
The Phoenix Centre, Gurnard Pines, Cockleton Lane,
Gurnard. PO31 8QE.
Free and plentiful parking and on the bus route.
(Also counts for free teacher CPD)
On Thursday 3 July, Dr Andrew Lee (UCL) and David Anderson (Eton College) will be hosting free of charge, a Climate Fresk. The Climate Fresk is a training workshop developed in France to help people get the facts right about climate change. The Fresk is fun! It brings people together to chat, and discuss using sets of cards that the group has to sort out. There are moments of reflection too, to consider what participants might do to in their own lives.
Climate change affects everyone. On the island we are seeing shoreline erosion and more frequent flooding in low lying areas in Yarmouth, Cowes and Bembridge. We are seeing milder winters, and earlier spring blooms, hotter, drier summers and more frequent heatwaves affecting especially older and vulnerable groups. Our trees are beginning to suffer with drier conditions, and new crops are needed to thrive, and there is more water pressure for irrigation in dry summers. Transport, such as ferries are increasingly disrupted by storms. This is before we consider the devastating consequences around the world which is creating millions of climate refugees in some of the poorest parts of the world.
Want to really understand climate change?Join the Climate Fresk – a powerful, interactive workshop that makes climate science clear, engaging, and impossible to ignore. In just 3 hours, you’ll connect the dots, uncover the bigger picture, and leave inspired to take action. No lectures, no jargon – just insight, teamwork, and impact.
