Throughout our journey, we decided to put our experience to good use within the Fresque du Climat, an educational ecosystem in which we have been heavily involved since 2019. In each of the countries we visited, we organised workshops, training sessions, meetings with local communities and presentations to institutions, with the aim of boosting the collective enthusiasm of volunteers and giving a helping hand to local deployments.
