Workshop
Getting to Grips with Climate Science

Sat, 15.10.2022
10:00 AM - 13:00 Goethe-Institut London

Climate Fresk workshop

Climate change has become the defining issue of our times but it can feel vague, far away and confusing.

Let’s be honest, climate science is difficult. It weaves together geography, physics, chemistry, sociology, economics and politics. And new research is coming out all the time.

Newspapers and doom-mongering headlines don’t help either. It can be tempting to put your head in the sand, scroll past and ignore it.

Climate change can also be a difficult topic to bring up with your friends, family or colleagues. It can generate eye rolls, fact throwing and even arguments. It can then be lonely if you feel like the only one worrying.

Getting to grips with climate science

Join a small-group of like-minded people, using a series of cards to map out the systemic nature of climate change. You’ll be working through a visual version of the science reports produced by the UN (IPCC 6th cycle assessment, August 2021). More than 260,000 people have played this game worldwide. Sophia Cheng, the workshop facilitator, has delivered this workshop more than 80 times. Over 3 hours we’ll cover the science in an accessible way and we’ll reflect on what it means for us and what we can do about it.

“It feels like I’ve done a 4 year university degree in 3 hours!”
Benita

“Sophia was so smooth, so confident, guided us really clearly with warmth and humour; the interactive session was just so much better than sitting through a science lecture, and great to interact with the other participants.”
Susannah

“One of the most inspiring things that I've experienced in my life and during my Master's degree.” Joaquin

To make sure everyone gets a rich experience, places are limited to just 16 per workshop. It means that if you register it’s really important that you show up or let us know as soon as possible if you cannot join us so we can pass your spot on.

Tea and coffee will be available to all participants and should you like to bring your children, they are more than welcome to spend time the time in the main room of the library.
