WORKSHOPS - SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Collaboratively Connecting the Dots

In my workshops and training sessions, we explore the web of life, embrace possibility thinking, and explore possible action steps. The focus is always on a fact-based, systemic perspective and meaningful collaboration.
I am convinced that the process of discovering and creating can be inspiring and enjoyable!

That is why these workshops also work wonderfully as team-building exercises.

There are many ways to shape the content to suit your needs. Here are two ideas to get you inspired. Contact me to design a workshop tailored to your needs!


WORKSHOP IDEA No. 1

The PYRAMID - A Tool for Deep Learning & Empowerment

The PYRAMID is a powerful learning and training tool designed to foster deep understanding and meaningful action!
Starting from a shared vision that includes nature, economy, society, and individual well-being, we define indicators that make positive development visible and measurable. We then explore how everything is connected and identify the areas where well-placed actions can lead to positive change.

From this process, concrete action steps for transformative change begin to take shape. Which innovations can help achieve the desired goals? Participants exchange ideas in small groups, discuss possibilities, collect ideas, and agree on a strategy for implementation (VISIS process).

And then it is up to the team to turn ideas into action!




In the workshop, we build a pyramid and explore a topic from 4 perspectives.

Each side of the pyramid represents one of these areas:
NATURE - ECONOMY - SOCIETY - individual WELL-BEING

  • At the beginning and thus at the bottom of the pyramid there is a VISION.
  • We collect information and determine INDICATORS
  • The SYSTEM is analysed: What is connected? How do the elements influence each other?
  • Which INNOVATIONS can positively change the system?
  • When placing the capstone, participants agree on a STRATEGY for successful implementation.

Please note:
The PYRAMIDE is part of the AcceleratorPro tools, which were developed by Alan AtKisson. This is a set of methods and concepts for teaching systems thinking and for training in the field of sustainable development. The organisation Compass Education (https://compasseducation.org/ - external link) owns the rights and promotes the methods very successfully, particularly in the field of education. I am a licensed practitioner for their use in corporate and non-educational settings.


WORKSHOP IDEA No. 2

The CLIMATE FRESK - Understand Climate Change

Understanding climate change in an entertaining and playful way!

The CLIMATE FRESK is a workshop format that activates the group's collective intelligence and makes the science behind climate change easily accessible. Participants take on an active role and link the causes and effects of climate change. This helps them understand the systemic nature of the challenges.

Promote climate literacy in your team and encourage positive action!

 



The CLIMATE FRESK combines head, heart, and hand.


  • Phase 1 - Place the cards
  • Phase 2 - Be creative
  • Phase 3 - Emotions
  • Phase 4 - Action Steps

Collaborative, entertaining, and informative!

The workshop consists of four phases:

Phase 1 - Understand
42 cards - with facts from the IPCC reports (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) - are placed in such a way that the relationships between cause and effect become visible. The team (4-7 people per table) works collaboratively and draws on the knowledge available within the group to lay out the cards.

Phase 2 - Be creative
The connections between the cards are highlighted by drawing arrows. The CLIMATE FRESK is given a title and you can colour it. This phase allows you to anchor the new information.

Phase 3 - Express your emotions
How do we feel? We identify our emotions and share them in a safe space.

Phase 4 - Explore action steps
Action steps are explored. How can we - individually and collectively - become active and contribute to shaping a positive future?


The CLIMATE FRESK was developed by  Cédric Ringenbach and is promoted by the French association La Fresque du Climat (https://climatefresk.org/world/ - external link). With more than 2 million participants in 167 countries, the CLIMATE FRESK successfully contributes to climate literacy and empowers people around the world to take sustainable decisions and actions.
