The Workshop
Our Turn (Atelier Notre Tour) is an immersive workshop designed for participants aged 15 and up to collectively explore positive narratives about climate action. Through sensory experiences, storytelling, and collaborative activities featuring a unique tower of wooden pieces, participants discover the gravity of current challenges and co-create concrete actions they can implement immediately. The workshop transforms abstract climate concerns into tangible, personal commitments.
Why It Matters
This workshop matters because it shifts climate communication from abstract problems to concrete solutions, empowering individuals with actionable pathways. By engaging both emotions and intellect through storytelling and interactive design, it helps participants move beyond eco-anxiety to meaningful engagement. The emphasis on immediate actions ensures participants leave with clear, implementable steps rather than just awareness.
Good to Know
The workshop combines sensory elements with narrative design to improve retention and motivation. Participants receive access to a curated range of climate actions they can begin today, spanning individual, community, and systemic levels. The workshop is hosted and facilitated through the Climate Academy network in Paris and partner organizations, reaching diverse audiences from students to professionals.
What to Expect
The workshop progresses through interactive phases: participants begin with engaging quizzes that surface their climate knowledge and assumptions; stories and sensory experiences (including the signature wooden tower) create emotional connection to climate urgency; group discussions facilitate collective imagination of solutions; and the session concludes with participants selecting and committing to concrete actions they will implement starting immediately.
