The Green Belt

What facilitator doesn’t want to climb up the ranks of the belt system and claim themselves the right to train new facilitators?

Trainers gain the leverage to have greater impact: through training new facilitators. A green belt also comes with some other perks and advantages about being able to apply for leads for professional work from the Climate Fresk association.

This page aims to make a roadmap to gaining your green belt after you have been trained as a Climate Fresk facilitator.

The Green Belt Process

To get a green belt, you must complete the following:

  • Facilitate 15 Climate Fresk workshops. (This is tracked via your facilitator’s counter)
  • Facilitate a workshop while being observed by a green belt, where they are satisfied with your facilitation.
  • Complete an interview with a green belt where they are satisfied with your experience, knowledge and motivation.
  • Observe an existing green belt delivering a facilitation training.
  • Attend a briefing of the training support delivered by the association. (After you have observed a facilitation training)
  • Lead your first training session while being observed and supervised by a blue belt. You can book a blue’s time via this spreadsheet.
  •
