When everyone has arrived and the time is right, briefly introduce yourself and the project. You can use the following lines to introduce the project, freely rephrasing to your style:

“Welcome, everyone! Today, we’re not just here for a workshop—we’re here to join a movement reimagining how we tackle one of humanity’s greatest challenges.
Climate for All was born from a simple but powerful idea: What if the path to climate action was paved with joy, creativity, and play instead of fear and despair?
In a world that often feels overwhelmed by crisis, we chose a different response. We turned climate competences into games. We transformed fear into fun. We replaced isolation with community.
What makes this approach special?
Through the game we’re about to play, you’ll experience firsthand how storytelling, strategy, and shared imagination can help us not only understand our changing world but also believe in our power to change it.
No expertise required. No degrees needed: just your curiosity, your care, and your willingness to play.
From kitchen tables in Kraków to university halls in Mauritius, this same experience is unfolding in communities worldwide. You’re part of something bigger—a movement growing game by game, facilitator by facilitator, community by community.
This isn’t just another workshop. It’s an invitation to recognise a simple truth: the future belongs to those who dare to reimagine it—and invite others to play along.
Our approach has even caught the attention of the European Commission, which selected Climate for All as one of the most Inspiring Green Education projects of 2024!
Today, through play, you’ll practice essential climate competences like systems thinking, collaboration, adaptability, and political agency. And when we’re done playing, we won’t stop there. We’ll reflect together, map our spheres of influence, and identify concrete actions we can take in our own communities.
So, are you ready to play the change you wish to see in the world?
Let’s begin.”

You can also include a short name game at this point, if your participants don’t already know each other. But keep this entire section short and sweet, as there is no better ice-breaker than the game you are about to play!

Give your participants enough time to finish their game.

If it’s a game with heavy emotional involvement, make sure also to run an activity that will allow them to decompress and safely exit the state of mind associated with the gameplay. This is especially important if your game is a Live-Action Role-Play (LARP), as this type of game allows for a deep immersion into the narrative and characters your participants may play, which can result in intense feelings and a phenomenon called “bleed“. Methods for “de-roling“, often borrowed from drama therapy, are becoming increasingly popular in LARP settings and are highly recommended in our case. Our original LARPs include both safety mechanics and de-roling methods in their manuals!

After sharing their feelings and emotions, ask your participants what they learned from playing this game. Can they mention any specific skills, knowledge, attitudes, or behaviours practised or revealed through play? Let them answer openly and without following any pre-existing structure. Again, any answer is valid and welcome. There are no right or wrong answers here, as this is their own lived experience.

Now it’s time to use a specific framework! Our games were developed with the GreenComp framework in mind. You can study more about it on our community page before you host a Climate for All workshop. GreenComp, the European sustainability competence framework, is a conceptual tool that defines 12 competences related to sustainability.

Following the open discussion on learning points from the previous step, it’s time to see if they align with any of the competences defined by the GreenComp framework. We developed a handy tool for that purpose.

Use the 12 cards with the predefined competences (3 per category) from our deck of GreenComp cards. Get your prepared cards and spread them face up on a desk/table. Ask everyone to form a circle around the desk/table so they can all see. Ask the players to read through it, and each point out the card with the top competence they feel they tackled while playing. You can then ask them to discuss amongst themselves and point out the top three competences they all agree they practised during the game.

The final step of the workshop is to motivate your participants to take the action they just decided should be their priority. You can achieve this with a straightforward, almost mischievous plan:

• Ask them to visualise the teeniest tiniest task they can do first for the action they decided to take
• Ask them to pick up their mobile phones
• Open the calendar app
• Create a reminder for when they will take this first task within the next couple of weeks!
• As a bonus, you can also introduce a buddy system. Pair your participants up in pairs they feel comfortable with and ask them to add each other to the events they just created so they can check in on each other when the time comes.

That’s it! Your Climate for All workshop is over! You can now celebrate with your group however you prefer, as long as everyone can participate.

Now that your workshop is over and your participants have their climate actions planned, they (and you) can also join the Climate for All community and inspire a global community with their climate actions!
