1) Climate Fresk:
The Climate Fresk is a science-based workshop that aims to educate and raise awareness about climate change worldwide. Based on the IPCC report, it explains how and why the climate changes at the current pace and the consequences of its disruption. It gives participants the opportunity to learn a lot in a very short period of time for both novices and experts.
What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Habits.
The workshop is based on a 42-card game. Each card represents a topic, a cause or a consequence of climate change. As a team, guided by your facilitator, you are to find the cause-effect relationship between the different components of climate change. Collective intelligence will get you from one deck of cards to the next!

• Location: TBC. We will do our part to ensure it is accessible.

2) Biodiversity Collage:
Learn about the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. Thanks to a science-based set of cards (based on the IPBES reports), discover the fundamental interactions within biodiversity as well as the causes and consequences of its decline.

What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Production.

• Learn about biodiversity by exploring a few key ecosystems
• Play together with the cards and figure out the links between them
• Get creative & Decorate to make the collage your own!
• Debrief and brainstorm on take-home actions from the workshop, related to
  

3) Climate Change Adaptation Workshop (AdACC):
AdACC is a workshop designed to integrate Climate Risks to your operations and give you the methodology for making the right choices together. The workshop equips you to take future-proof decisions and reduce climate change-induced risks. Though we would manage to reduce our emissions, global warming will get worse by 2050 for sure. So we need to prepare for it!
What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Supply Chain

• Understand intersectionality between Adaptation & Mitigation
• Learn a methodology to take the best Adaptation decisions
• Brainstorm strategies to prepare for impact of Climate Change on food supply
  

4) Circular Economy:
The Circular Economy Collage gives participants a clearer understanding of the issues related to our use of natural resources and and to the waste we generate.

Which resources do we consume the most and which are most under pressure? What impacts do our consumption and waste generation have on those resources and on the planet in general? How can I contribute to reducing those impacts in my daily life?
What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Waste.
The workshop covers topics such as climate change, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity and pollution generated by human activities and enables you to identify concrete courses of action.
Brainstorm on how to better steward our food as a resources and minimise food waste.

5) Plastic Collage:
The Plastic Collage, is a fun and collaborative workshop full of facts and data, science-based, Asia-focused, realistic BUT optimistic and positive. Brought to Singapore by Industry expert and volunteer for the Plastic Collage association.

What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Packaging (plastic).
Join us for a fun and creative evening of learning about Plastic, challenges and issues, industry trends, environmental impacts AND solutions to turn off the plastic (waste) tap, especially related to the plastic packaging!
