About This Event

Join us for Climate Fresk in Nature, a fun outdoor workshop to understand climate change together! Most of us know climate change is happening. Far fewer of us could explain how the pieces actually connect: why emissions lead to ocean acidification, how that links to food security, or where the feedback loops are. Climate Fresk is a collaborative workshop that might help you become more confident talking about climate change. Working together with a deck of cards based on IPCC science, you'll build the whole picture yourself. Like playing a board game, it's genuinely enjoyable! Find out more about Climate Fresk: https://climatefresk.org/world/ I am running it inside the Frog House at Platt Fields Market Garden, a working community garden in the middle of the park. It seemed like the right place to talk about this. WHAT WILL HAPPEN You'll work in a small group, laying out cards and drawing the links between them. Then you'll title your fresque, talk about how it feels, and finish with what any of it means for you specifically. Around three hours of workshop, with a proper lunch break in the middle. You're welcome to bring your own food & beverage, but we highly recommend buying at least a drink to support the MUD for sponsoring the venue! WHO IT'S FOR Anyone 16 or over. No science background required. WHAT IT COSTS Nothing. The garden is giving us the space for free, so please buy a drink or your lunch from their café. That's how we're saying thank you, and it keeps a genuinely good local space running. You can also bring your own food and drink. Donations to Manchester Urban Diggers are very welcome. ACCESS The site is partially wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet, gender-neutral toilets, baby change facilities and free parking next door. Please tell me about any access needs when you book, or email me. YOUR FACILITATOR Very nice to meet you! I'm Mimi Pham, a sustainability specialist living a few steps from the park. I do carbon reporting for a social enterprise in Manchester for a living, and I run these free sessions for fun! Places are limited so that everyone can properly take part. If you book and then can't come, please cancel so someone on the waiting list can have your spot.
