Workshops presented by Ecogames

These workshops are developed by their own associations. Ecogames helps make them visible, organize multi-workshop evenings, and connect venues with trained facilitators.

New Narratives Fresk in action

new narratives

New Narratives

New Narratives Fresk helps groups move from diagnosis to imagination. It explores stories, emotions, and future images so ecological transition feels more desirable and actionable.

3h in person

A strong fit for public programming, especially alongside climate or digital workshops.

Digital Collage visual

digital

Digital Collage

Digital Collage is an awareness-raising workshop about the environmental impacts of digital technologies. While digital tools were long perceived as environmentally beneficial because they reduced paper use and travel, the spread of devices and digital practices has dramatically increased their footprint. Households now own multiple screens, data consumption has multiplied, and the rise of 5G and AI is intensifying these trends. Created in the spirit of Climate Fresk, the workshop draws on recent and reliable sources such as ADEME, Green IT, the United Nations, and France Strategie to make complex ideas accessible. Using a deck of impact and good-practice cards, participants explore the issues, debate them, and co-design practical solutions.

3h in person online

A strong fit for multi-workshops events, campuses, or libraries that want to address a very present but poorly understood issue.

Circular economy workshop in action

circular economy

Circular Economy Collage

Circular Economy Collage helps participants understand how our current production and consumption patterns operate, why they still remain largely linear, and how the principles of circularity can transform sectors, uses, and business models.

3h in person online

A very good fit for evenings that want to bring the conversation toward solutions and practical levers.

Climate Fresk visual

climate

Climate

Climate Fresk helps people connect climate mechanisms and consequences through a highly participatory workshop grounded in science.

3h30 in person online hybrid

It is one of the workshops that most naturally creates pathways toward other formats.

Biodiversity Collage in action

biodiversity

Biodiversity Collage

Biodiversity Collage is a collective intelligence workshop that helps participants understand the interactions between ecosystems, human activities, and the erosion of living systems. The workshop is grounded in solid scientific foundations, especially the work of IPBES, to make complex ideas accessible and foster a more systemic understanding of the living world. In small groups, participants manipulate cards, connect mechanisms, share their reactions, and explore action levers adapted to their daily lives, territories, or organizations.

3h in person online

Often chosen as a second step after climate, but strong enough to stand alone in a public event.

2Tonnes workshop in action

2Tonnes

2tonnes Workshop

The 2tonnes Workshop is a serious game that brings together 6 to 15 participants for three hours to take on the climate challenge. Originally developed by François Laugier following feedback from Climate Fresk participants, and later refined in collaboration with Pierre-Alix Lloret, the workshop is now supported by both a nonprofit organization and a social economy company. Over 8 rounds representing 3 to 4 years each, participants make individual and collective decisions to try to move from the average carbon footprint down to 2 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement. Using a real-time simulator and paper cards, the workshop quantifies the carbon benefits of each decision and helps participants understand orders of magnitude, prioritize actions, and unlock the transition from awareness to action. It also fits within a broader systems perspective that includes planetary boundaries and Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Theory, helping participants connect climate choices with the wider ecological and social transition. In 2024, more than 9,000 facilitators had been trained and more than 177,000 people had taken part in 2tonnes in over 50 countries.

3h in person online hybrid

A very good fit when a program wants to move from understanding to practical action pathways.

Construction Collage in action

Construction

Construction Fresk helps participants understand the impacts of the building sector, material and energy orders of magnitude, and transformation levers.

3h in person

The Québec adaptation is a strong fit for urban, academic, and built-environment audiences.

Food Collage in action

food

Food Collage

Food Collage is an interactive experience that connects our eating habits to major societal issues: climate, biodiversity, public health, and social justice. Inspired by the educational method of Climate Fresk, the workshop uses cards, quizzes, and games to reveal the complexity of our food system and encourage collective solutions. In just a few hours, participants understand the impacts of their choices, explore practical actions adapted to their context, and commit to acting both individually and collectively. Recognized for its impact, Food Collage has received a national award from the French Ministry of Agriculture and is available in several formats for the public, companies, communities, and youth.

3h in person online

Very effective in public evenings because people can connect it immediately to their lived experience.

Sexism workshop in action

sexism

Sexism

Sexism Fresk is a collective workshop that helps participants understand everyday and structural sexism, then open up discussion and action.

3h in person online

A strong choice when a venue wants to widen its ecological programming toward social and systemic issues.

Textile workshop in action

textile

Textiles

Textile Fresk helps people connect materials, production chains, consumption, use, and reuse so they can discuss the sector more clearly.

3h in person

Especially useful when a program wants to start from a very concrete consumption issue.

Human factors workshop in action

human factors

Human Factor Mural

The Human Factor Mural is a collaborative learning experience guided by a facilitator. Participants start by identifying a behavior they want to change, then explore how emotions, cognitive biases, and other human factors can act both as barriers and as levers for change across teams, organizations, and transition contexts.

3h in person online

A strong complement to climate, digital, or 2Tonnes because it works on the gap between knowing and acting.

Ecological Renaissance banner

ecological renaissance

Ecological Renaissance

Ecological Renaissance is a solution-oriented workshop built around desirable futures, territorial imagination, and plausible transition pathways.

3h in person

A strong complement to more analytical workshops when a program wants a more hopeful territorial closing step.

Public workshop in action

on demand

On-demand workshops and custom formats

Beyond the workshops already listed in the catalog, Ecogames can help identify and program less common formats, junior versions, localized workshops, or proposals adapted to a territory, an audience, or a specific objective.

variable in person online hybrid

A starting point for discussing a specific need: youth formats, less common workshops, local adaptation, or custom programming.
