The Digital Collage is a fun and collaborative half-day workshop with a similar educational method as the Climate Fresk.
The workshop also aims to lay down the key solutions to build a more sustainable digital sector. It then encourages participants to discuss on the topic for fruitful debate. This workshop is a real team-building tool, allowing participants to come together and discover how to achieve sustainability in the digital sector.
It is primarily intended to be carried out in-person, but an online version is also available.
Version 2 of this workshop benefited from the expertise and contributions of EcoInfo CNRS.
Part 1:
Comprehension
The participants, gathered in teams of 4 to 8 people per table, identify and draw links between the cards of the game to build a real “Collage”.
2nd part:
Creativity
Participants illustrate their interpretation, learn key messages, then choose a title. This phase helps to embrace the content and creates a team spirit.
3rd part:
Debrief / Review
Each team presents their Collage, chosen title, key messages and decoration to the others and the facilitator provides feedback and a recap of the key messages.
4th part:
Action!
The participants discover the action cards, and discuss amongst themselves the ones that are most relevant to retain.

For professionalsThe association also organizes workshops in universities and high schools for students, pupils and teachers, but focusing on France and not yet internationally so far.
"The Digital Collage is an excellent awareness-raising tool. It made us understand the impacts of our digital usage on the environment, while setting out solutions to act on an individual and collective level."
Daphné G.
"I enjoyed the whole workshop a lot. It is an excellent way to learn and understand the causes of our digital habits and their consequences"
Jean-François B.
"To me, the main asset of the workshop was to think globally and find the connections between “digital” activities and their externalities. From my personal experience, these connections remain poorly perceived by users."
Vincent M.
We are based in France and we are composed of 11 board members and over 3.000 facilitators/volunteers. Our objective is to spread the knowledge of the environmental problems linked to the digital sector and the appropriate actions to deal with them.
We are putting in place tools and resources to help our facilitators become more competent on the subject and the educational methods. We organize workshops for the general public, educational institutions, professionals and public organizations. You can consult our statutes and internal rules (in French), or make a donation:

"As an engineer, I spent 20 years in the automotive industry.
In 2006, I created Centrale-Energies on the theme of energy transition and I met Cedric Ringenbach, the Climate Fresk's future creator.
In 2019, I left the company I was working for to become a web developer and a Climate Fresk facilitator."
"Entrepreneur, trainer and former web developer, I am passionate about sustainability, transition issues, and the cross-disciplinary thinking that goes with it.
I have a master's degree from a business school and am constantly in continuous education, with 10 years of professional experience in a variety of fields and sectors."
The Climate Fresk is a workshop to understand collaboratively and as a team how climate change works. This fun and educational workshop is based on the IPCC report.
We strongly advise you to participate in this workshop before or after participating in the Digital Collage to deepen your knowledge of the complexity of the climate disruption subject.
