Inspiring and enabling a multidisciplinary
understanding of transition

University

At the start of the academic year or as part of a teaching module, use the workshop with your students to tackle the fundamental issues of today's economy (geopolitics of materials, management of impacts and externalities, linear economic system) in a fun and participative way, and open up the discussion on the opportunities and careers offered by the circular economy.

Their views on the workshop

"This collage helps to develop a number of skills: working together, listening, respect, reading, reading comprehension and thinking about the links between cause and effect. The last part is creative, and highlights the strengths of each participant."

- P.B., English teacher for 12 years old, Bois d’Arcy (78)

"This collaborative workshop encourages students to think about the ways in which they consume and to get involved by adopting the 3R strategy (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). The students have proposed a Repair Café that will take place at the school. Don't throw it away, fix it!"

- C.F., maths teacher for 14 years old, Schirmeck (67)

"It's an excellent tool that gives an initial systemic view of the use of resources and their impact. Our students’ unanimous opinion agree that the CEC is a trigger for identifying possible levers for action in their projects."

- E.A., Bachelor's and Master's design teacher, Nantes (44)

"The circular economy collage lends itself well to the syllabus because our last chapter studied in class deals with climate and climate change. The pupils particularly appreciate the opportunity to arrange the cards themselves and decorate their mural themselves."

- S.D., teacher for 12 years old

Deploy the Circular Economy
Collage in your school

The Circular Economy Collage workshop has been adapted to be accessible and relevant to the questions being asked by young secondary school students. The ‘Youth’ version of the workshop has been designed to suit the different levels of secondary school. The young people's version of the game is available in several languages and can be used in language classes, for example. You have the option of organising a turnkey workshop using our facilitators or training yourself to bring the facilitation skills in-house. By training in-house facilitators from your teaching team (teachers, administrative staff, etc.) you will be able to access the many teaching resources available.

FAQ

A few answers
to your questions

Is it possible for you to come to my school to organise a workshop ?

Yes, absolutely. You can call on our network of specialised professional facilitators to organise a turnkey workshop in your establishment. Contact us to discuss your project.

What is the principle behind the ‘Youth’ workshop ?

This adaptation of the workshop is shorter and corresponds to the questions that young people may be asking themselves. The workshop takes place in small groups, using cards to encourage reflection on the use of natural resources, our consumption patterns, our needs and the limits imposed by the linear economy.

The strength of the workshop lies in:
- the use of collective intelligence, which makes it easier to take on board the messages
- its fun format to get participants on board
- its scientific reliability: the data comes from leading reports: ADEME and UNEP.

Who is the Circular Economy Collage ‘Youth’ version aimed at ?

This ‘'youth’' version workshop is aimed primarily at children from 10 to 15 years old, and can be used both in and out of school.

How long does the ‘Youth’ Circular Economy Collage workshop last ?

The ‘Youth’ workshop is designed to last 2 hours, including a short break.

The workshop is divided into several phases:
- an ice-breaker introduction
- a 1st part of reflection in small groups using the cards on the linear economy and its limits
- a time for creativity and synthesis on the 1st subject
- a phase on the circular economy with the ‘solutions’ cards, to be completed by the ideas and experiences of the pupils.

A guidance module on new professions can be added to the workshop to support the young people's reflections on their future and their projects.

How many people can attend a ‘Youth’ workshop ?

Unlike a lecture, the workshop is based on a game format involving small groups (6 students per group), mobilising collective intelligence. An experienced facilitator can manage 2 groups, i.e. 12 students. To begin with, we recommend that there should always be one adult per group to keep the children focused (teacher, supervisory or administrative staff).

Is it possible to become a facilitator of 'Youth' workshop ?

Yes ! If you would like to use the workshop as part of your courses or activities with young people, you can train to become a workshop facilitator. Once you've been trained as a facilitator, you'll have access to all the tools (teaching resources, materials) you need to run the workshop.
