21 February 2023 in Marseille and 28 February 2023 in Paris

Be part of the profound and necessary shift in higher education and research to reduce the impact of our activities on the planet. You’ve come to the right place !

Would you like to train to become a facilitator for the My Earth in 180’ workshop ?
You can still do so by registering for one of the training sessions on 21 and 28 February 2023.

The training lasts 6 hours :
– Part 1 : Action-based training, 10:00–13:00
– Part 2 : Facilitation tools and techniques, 14:00–17:00

It will primarily be held in person*, over one day, in Marseille and Paris. It aims to introduce you to the workshop and how it works, immerse you in a workshop session, familiarise you with its various components, and teach you how to supervise a game table so that you can lead a table during future sessions.

* For those unable to attend the training due to a lack of available places, further sessions will be offered shortly, to which you will be invited.

Training objectives

To discover the role of a My Earth in 180 facilitator :

– Understand the challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions at local and national levels and be able to convey an awareness-raising message to participants at the game table,
– Identify the stages involved in running the “serious game”, from setting up a game table through to facilitating the session and presenting the results,
– Help participants produce their “surprise report” and embody their characters,
– Facilitate the negotiation phases by rephrasing proposals and fostering the emergence of collective intelligence,
– Summarise the discussions and present the results during the debriefing phase in conjunction with the other game tables.

The training course leads to a training certificate.

Please note : the workshop takes place in two 1.5-hour sessions :

– An awareness-raising phase : presentation of the key issues, planetary boundaries, climate change, scaling up, laboratory dynamics, North-South dynamics, use of collective intelligence tools to foster a sense of wonder together, and an introduction to the game and the characters.
– A role-play phase : players devise possible alternatives and collectively negotiate the measures to be taken, either by individuals or by the team, to reduce the carbon footprint of their activities by 50%. This phase comprises an initial round of independent negotiation followed by a second round led by a team leader.

To get the most out of the experience, these two rounds are followed by a 30-minute debriefing session.
