Ocean Fresk
The Ocean Fresk is a collaborative workshop led by Act! with Surfrider focused on the theme of the Ocean. Based on collective intelligence, this educational activity aims to raise awareness of marine biodiversity challenges, aquatic pollution, and climate disruption. It naturally fits into a structured CSR strategy as part of a comprehensive awareness-raising program.
The ocean fresk is based on active pedagogy: a card game co-designed with experts that reveals cause-and-effect links between human activities, climate disruptions, and damage to marine ecosystems. it harnesses collective intelligence by encouraging listening, collaboration, and reflection. this dynamic creates an engaging environment to collectively explore ocean-related challenges while strengthening team cohesion. the format is accessible to all audiences, regardless of their roles or prior awareness levels.
The workshop simplifies scientific and ecological knowledge around key themes: oceanic carbon cycle, ecosystem services, plastic pollution, marine biodiversity, overfishing, and ocean acidification. starting from concrete and visual facts, participants gradually uncover the complex interactions between human pressures and marine ecosystem degradation. the ocean fresk serves as a relevant entry point for further training on ocean preservation or awareness workshops on plastic pollution.
By integrating the ocean fresk into your awareness programs, you provide your teams with a structured framework to engage in collective reflection on the environmental impact of your activities. this workshop can precede the co-creation of action plans within your csr or esg strategy. it complements other formats from our offering—environmental quizzes, diy workshops, awareness booths, or corporate waste collection events. the fresk acts as a trigger for awareness and collective mobilization, supporting a grounded and measurable ecological transition.
the workshop begins with a friendly warm-up, often in the form of an icebreaker, aimed at creating a collective dynamic and an open exchange atmosphere. the learning objectives are presented: to understand the pressures on the ocean, promote collective intelligence, and stimulate strategic thinking. participants then discover the game board, designed to progressively guide the construction of a systemic map of marine issues.
the core phase engages teams around a set of illustrated cards representing impact factors, disruption mechanisms, and consequences on the ocean and climate. participants build a large mental map by connecting elements following cause-and-effect logic. this visual construction aids memorization while revealing the interdependencies between production, consumption, pollution, biodiversity, and oceanic climate regulation. trained facilitators guide the discussions and ensure smooth pedagogical progression.
the fresk concludes with a debrief and discussion session. each group shares its insights and identifies actionable levers relevant to their activity. this appropriation moment links global challenges with professional realities: reducing plastic waste, improving resource management, and transitioning work practices. identified pathways can feed into a csr action plan or be further explored through other formats such as environmental trainings, practical workshops, or sustainability seminars.
the ocean fresk serves as a powerful anchor point to spark team interest in marine preservation issues. by making environmental impacts tangible and understandable, it fosters shared awareness across functions and hierarchy levels. it helps build a company culture focused on ecological transition, environmental responsibility, and reducing collective footprint. this format complements existing initiatives such as waste collection campaigns or awareness booths.
the ocean fresk is based on a rigorous methodology co-developed with scientific experts and environmental education specialists. each session follows a progressive logic: building knowledge, connecting mechanisms, then formulating concrete actions. this makes it an ideal tool to initiate or reinforce tailored training programs, linked to our csr courses like ocean preservation training or plastic pollution training.
the ocean fresk workshop is designed to suit varied contexts: coastal businesses, industrial sectors, public services, or nonprofits. it can be delivered onsite (at your premises or at act! with surfrider spaces in paris or biarritz) or remotely via a collaborative digital format. no prerequisites are required, enabling participation from very diverse profiles, including multidisciplinary teams. this inclusivity allows the fresk to be part of a csr seminar or sustainable team building alongside other environmental activities.
the ocean fresk is a collaborative workshop developed by act! with surfrider, inspired by active pedagogy. it explores the interactions between human activities, marine pollution, climate disruption, and ocean biodiversity. by handling thematic cards, participants co-create a structured overview of the issues. this approach fosters collective understanding and knowledge ownership to initiate or strengthen environmental initiatives.
the workshop is designed for any organization looking to raise team awareness on marine issues within a csr strategy or environmental training plan. it is especially relevant for csr, communications, hr, qse functions, and operational teams. it complements other initiatives like ocean preservation training or corporate csr activities.
the ocean fresk typically lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on the desired level of exchange and number of participants. it can be offered as a short format during a csr seminar or alongside an escape game or environmental quiz.
the workshop is designed for groups of 6 to 20 participants. it can be facilitated onsite (at your premises or act! with surfrider spaces in biarritz or paris) or remotely using collaborative digital tools. trained facilitators support each group to ensure a smooth and structured experience.
the ocean fresk strengthens employee engagement on climate and marine issues. it helps generate concrete actions on plastic pollution, waste management, or low-carbon transition while fostering a shared culture of environmental responsibility. it aims to embed learning deeply into daily professional practices.
yes. the workshop fits perfectly into comprehensive educational pathways including environmental trainings, waste collection activities, or diy workshops. it can also be part of a team-building day or an internal event focused on ecological transition.
