Biodiversity Collage

A collaborative three-hour workshop to understand connections between ecosystems and human activities, explore the causes of biodiversity loss and identify possibilities for action in everyday life and organizations.

Biodiversity Collage helps participants understand the relationships between ecosystems, human activities and biodiversity loss. Drawing on scientific foundations, including the work of IPBES, it makes complex ideas accessible and builds a more systemic view of living systems. In small groups, participants work with cards, connect mechanisms and discuss their consequences. Sharing reactions is also part of the experience. The group then explores possibilities for action in everyday life, across a territory or within an organization. The workshop provides common ground for looking more closely at these issues and continuing the conversation after the session.

Biodiversity is essential to feed us, heal us, provide us with drinking water, and supply the raw materials we depend on. This workshop reveals the systemic nature of the forces driving biodiversity loss, drawing on scientific data, especially from IPBES, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.

This workshop is developed by its own association. Ecogames helps organize it, include it in public events, and connect venues with trained facilitators.
Ecogames distributes more than half of registration fees back to the workshops' supporting associations, funding their deployment, evolution, and updates.
