We tested the OGRE and En‑ROADS workshops, I highly recommend!Whether you are a beginner or advanced in climate issues, these workshops put in place the orders of magnitude and priority levers for action.We learned a lot of very concrete things that were useful for supporting our clients afterwards, and it was a great team-building experience.Thank you to Samuel and Gregory for all the pedagogy and fun!

Change management
Because people must remain at the centre of the project
Organizational coaching
Implement change
Accelerating the ecological and social transition, like any change, requires placing people at the center. We support the organization on different levels:
- Coach the leader and the leadership team
- Revisit the governance and decision-making processes
- Identify competency gaps and train the teams
All our coaching sessions are delivered by certified professional coaches.
Educational simulations
Awareness raising and training
Stakeholders have to understand and experience before acting, we offer simulations and awareness raising programs tailored to the needs of your organisation (board of directors, managers, employees, ...) to address the key themes of the European taxonomy and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD):
- Climate
- Pollution
- Water and aquatic resources
- Biodiversity & ecosystems
- Use of resources and circular economy
- Causes and Consequences of Climate Change
- Links between Climate, Decarbonation & Energy
Our specific simulations
OGRE
Proprietary workshop
Understanding the challenges of the energy transition in France
Our use of energy is responsible for 75% of global CO2 emissions. In France, about 70% of energy comes from fossil fuels (82% globally). The workshop provides an understanding of the challenges of the energy transition in France, at the individual and collective level (individual consumption, low-carbon production, cost of the transition, critical materials, CO2 emissions).
Deployment: 2-4h
up to 500 participants/session
En‑ROADS
Understanding the challenges of decarbonization
The commitments made by nations to date put us on a global warming trajectory of 3.2°C by the end of the century. En‑ROADS, developed by the MIT, is a role-play and negotiation game that allows you to understand the levers of decarbonization and their impacts at a global level.
Deployment: 2-4h
up to 54 participants/session
The Energy Fresk
Introducing teams to energy matters
The Energy Fresk is a modular workshop leveraging collective intelligence, accessible to all, allowing participants to approach the fundamentals of the contemporary energy system, in a fun and self-learning way.
Deployment: 1-3h
4-8 participants/session
AdACC
Understanding and adapting to climate change
Climate change is happening. Its impacts are becoming more widespread and intensifying. The Climate Change Adaptation Workshops provide the keys to collectively making the best possible choices and avoiding pitfalls of maladaptation.
Deployment: 3h30
6-12 participants/session
We also facilitate the climate fresk and many other simulations (biodiversity fresk, water fresk, 2tonnes,…) depending on the needs of the organisation.
Understand, evaluate, act: these are three words that illustrate what the OGRE workshop aims to do.With a few significant figures presented as orders of magnitude, the sharing of key actions and a dash of humor to play it all down, the workshop invites us to try to bend our own energy consumption curve and then collectively try to increase our energy production curve, with a view to finding the balance our planet needs.A fun and effective workshop that educates without teaching!
