Fresque du Climat (it’s getting hot out there!)
Back on our Saturday of last November!
Lea and I were out for an unusual activity : at the Fresque du Climat workshop located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris where our facilitator Catherine, about 20 participants and a white fresco were waiting for us.
What is a Fresque du Climat ?
For those who discover it like us, the association founded in 2018 by Cedric Ringenbach aims to raise awareness of global warming through a collaborative game and the reconstruction of a mural recreating the mechanisms of climate change.
Image after image, and with the help of diagrams, it traces with clarity its degradation linked to the impacts of human activity.
We retraced it in small groups of 8 and were able to anticipate it for the next few years: it was not really a surprise to discover a reality that we all already had a little in mind, but it was not a great pride to note on paper the extent of the damage!
Think of a giant puzzle: but much less fun, because you quickly lose the desire to complete it, and even less to finish it.
But we are forced to face the situation after having drawn it for 3 hours.
After a long debriefing, disagreements, and the coming out of the participant – surprisingly the most wounded – about his career in the International transport industry came the time of the assessment.
Everyone was still holding on to his or her own comfort zone and the main thing was not the same for everyone: stop flying, buy second hand, use short circuits or eat less meat.
But we all wanted to make more efforts.
