What is Connect & Learn?

A three-session programme for people who care about climate action and want practical ways to engage others.

Across the programme, you can:

  • Experience the Climate Fresk workshop
  • Train as a Climate Fresk facilitator
  • Practise in a supportive, real-world setting

This is about confidence, connection and taking climate conversations beyond concern into action.

Who is it for?

You might be

Part of a climate, conservation or community group

Involved in local councils, faith groups or citizen engagement

Working in education, communications or sustainability

A student or staff member interested in climate leadership

Someone ready to move from worry to action

No expertise required — just curiosity and openness.

Why this works

Many people care deeply about climate change, but struggle to talk about it clearly or constructively.

Connect & Learn 

helps by:

Making climate science understandable and shareable

Using facilitation rather than lectures

Building confidence through practice

Connecting people who can support each other locally

No expertise required — just curiosity and openness.
