Workshops presented by Ecogames

Decorating the Doughnut is a participatory workshop for discovering and connecting the big issues explored by workshops like the Climate Fresk: climate, biodiversity, food, mobility, digital technology, water, health and several more.

New to these workshops? This one gives you an overview and helps you see how our needs — eating, getting around, housing ourselves, communicating, staying healthy — are tied to the way we live and to the limits of the planet.

Already taken part in one or more? You can put what you know into perspective, connect topics that are usually covered separately, and find the workshops that will take you further.

As a group, you explore cards drawn from a dozen partner workshops and place them on a “Doughnut” inspired by Kate Raworth’s model. Its three rings connect human needs, the way we meet them today and the planetary boundaries. The workshop brings out the interactions between our activities, their impacts and the possibilities for change.

You’ll leave with a more systemic view of socio-ecological issues, concrete links between different topics, landmarks to better situate what you know, and a clearer idea of which workshops to explore next.

Critical AI Fresk offers a collective exploration of artificial intelligence issues through a card-based workshop. Participants connect visible AI uses with infrastructure, data, design choices, power dynamics, and the social and ecological impacts around them. Following the Fresk format, the workshop creates an accessible discussion space: people handle cards, build links, compare viewpoints, and identify the questions that should be answered before adopting or deploying AI systems.

New Narratives Fresk helps groups move from diagnosis to imagination. It explores stories, emotions, and future images so ecological transition feels more desirable and actionable.

Digital Collage is an awareness-raising workshop about the environmental impacts of digital technologies. While digital tools were long perceived as environmentally beneficial because they reduced paper use and travel, the spread of devices and digital practices has dramatically increased their footprint. Households now own multiple screens, data consumption has multiplied, and the rise of 5G and AI is intensifying these trends. Created in the spirit of Climate Fresk, the workshop draws on recent and reliable sources such as ADEME, Green IT, the United Nations, and France Strategie to make complex ideas accessible. Using a deck of impact and good-practice cards, participants explore the issues, debate them, and co-design practical solutions.

Beyond the workshops already listed in the catalog, Ecogames can help identify and program less common formats, junior versions, localized workshops, or proposals adapted to a territory, an audience, or a specific objective.
