An association committed
to the circular economy
Inspired by the Climate Fresk movement, the association organises workshops accessible to everyone, in France and abroad, to help as many people as possible discover the levers of action offered by the circular economy.
Our mission doesn't stop there, however, as we've decided to spread the word about the workshop by giving everyone the opportunity to learn how to run it, so that they can in turn become a vehicle for raising awareness in their personal or professional environment!
By developing clear resources, making the subject more accessible and highlighting the players involved in change, we are helping to build a community committed to the challenges of the circular economy.

The co-founders
When they met just after the pandemic, Elsa and Anne-France had no idea that they were about to embark on a great human adventure together. They came from different backgrounds : Anne-France worked in the supply chain of major companies, Elsa studied regional planning and did a stint in local government, before finding themselves around a table, with cards that would soon become a shared project: to take as many people as possible on a journey to make the world go round!
In 2021, they founded the association La Fresque de l’Economie Circulaire in the same spirit as Climate Fresk, which had already demonstrated the power of this educational format for understanding and discussing complex issues together. A few years later, 45,000 people have already taken part in a workshop and over 1,000 have received training on the subject using the tools developed by the association!

Unlock Circularity
After raising awareness among thousands of professionals about the challenges of the circular economy, the workshop's co-founders created Unlock Circularity to address the need for support for organizations in the practical implementation of their circular economy initiatives. To connect ambitions with actions, Unlock Circularity has developed a methodology, workshops, and immersive learning experiences that help overcome obstacles and activate the circular economy potential of each activity.
