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.
