Plant Swap

Houseplant Swappictures of houseplants

How it works:

1) Bring any plants you have managed to propagate (or who have propagated themselves) to the event, or any plants you would like to give away.

 2) Look for cute plants you want in your space and take them home 

(Note: you don't need to bring a plant to take a plant, but the more the better!)

Climate Fresk Workshop

Climate Fresk Workshop

In just 2.5 hours, the Climate Fresk workshop will teach you the fundamental science behind climate change and empower you to take action. Whether you are new to the subject or very familiar, you are going to learn something.

 The Climate Fresk is based on a game with 42 cards taken from the scientific reports of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This game raises awareness about climate change in a playful and collaborative way.

The Fresk is suitable for all audiences and all levels of understanding. It addresses both novices and the more aware who wish to deepen their knowledge on climate issues.

Facilitated by Philippe Favreau
