Climate Fresk
Join us in this interactive ‘serious game’ to understand the causes and consequences of climate change and to discuss how our individual and collective action can lead to systemic change.
What to expect
The Head: You will work collaboratively with your team of 4 to 7 players. You will play with 42 cards and order them in cause-effect relationships.
The Heart: Having built and personalised your Climate Fresk, it will be time to take a step back, to reflect on what you have learnt and then...
The Hand: Start to think all together on how to act, individually and collectively.
This is run by PG and UG students, and academic staff of the Business School who are accredited facilitators of Climate Fresk.
