Citizens' Workshop: Climate Change Through a Climate Fresk Lens
The Climate Fresk is a French nonprofit founded in December 2018 by Professor Cédric Ringenbach. Climate Fresk’s aim is to raise public awareness about climate change and at the same time facilitate participants into taking action against climate change.
The 3 hour adult workshop is intended to be simple, fun, visual, creative and engaging and yet at the same time informative and transformative. It is based on 42 cards that summarize the work of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Participants create a fresco, hence "fresk", by laying out and connecting the cards to reveal the interconnectedness of the “causes” and “consequences” of climate change. Ample time is left at the end of the session for the participants to explore opportunities for action.
The workshop is provided by trained facilitators and the international success of the Climate Fresk format speaks for itself. Over 2.0 million people have now participated in a workshop with 89k+ going on to be trained as facilitators. Workshops are available in over 150 countries and 45+ languages.
Climate Fresk (world) – Climate Fresk
Climate Fresk workshops are relatively new to Ottawa/Gatineau and the local organizers hope for a broad-based and expansive growth similar to what has happened internationally.
Whether you're exploring these topics for the first time or seeking to deepen your understanding, this workshop offers valuable insights and fosters community connections. Ages 17+

Join industry experts for a non-partisan online event that will help you understand the critical issues impacting Ontario.
With an Ontario election looming, we all need to understand the critical election issues that affect us most. How will your vote impact your cost of living, health, housing and insurability, access to food, and more? Find out by joining this interactive OCEC non-partisan Town Hall. Hear key policy records of each party and an expert panelists’ discussion of the real-life impacts of those policies on you and your loved ones. Ask our panelists your questions during the Q+A to follow.
1) Register for the OCEC pre-election Town Hall and materials. Can't attend? Register anyways for a recording.
2) Share this link with as many other Ontarians as possible to register themselves and pass it on!
_________________
OCEC needs to reach as many people as possible to deliver the facts on top of mind voter issues at this critical time. We’re reaching out to OCEC members and supporters to harness the collective power of OCEC’s massive coalition of over 275 Group Signatories plus Individual members, together representing about 850,000 Ontarians, to reach further beyond!
The last Ontario election led to a majority government elected with only 18% of eligible voters and the lowest voter turnout in Ontario history. By pulling together the collective power of every Ontarian included in OCEC and amplifying beyond OCEC through this campaign, we can make a real difference in our own lives. Please consider completing this brief survey to have a say in our messaging options.
Sign up! Take action! Share widely! And stay tuned for valuable pre-election information. At this pivotal moment, let’s work together to vote for the better future we all deserve and want.
Thank you,
The OCEC Team
