Biodiversity Collage

A collaborative 3-hour workshop to understand biodiversity loss, its systemic causes, its consequences, and the action levers available.

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.

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.
