Fresque du Climat: more than 700 SKEMA students analyse climate issues

SKEMA’s Master in Management (PGE) programme students in the L3 year got the opportunity to analyse climate issues through to the 'Fresque du Climat' event organised on 20 October on SKEMA's three French campuses. It is the cornerstone of the Rentrée Climat event and provides students with a common scientific understanding of climate issues.

​Fresque du Climat was an impactful collective intelligence workshop that enabled 760 third-year SKEMA PGE students to understand how the climate is changing and learn about possible courses of action based on a set of cards drawn from the work of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).


SKEMA community mobilised


On each campus, SKEMA employees led workshops where participants had to put the cards together on a table and link them to form a fresco presenting the causes and consequences of climate change. The workshop lasted about three hours and included a reflection phase, a creative phase, and an action phase.


Insights from three SKEMA alumni


To complement what they learnt from the workshop, the students attended a conference on "jobs in transition" organised by the SKEMA Alumni team. Ludovic Bidet (PGE 2020, CSR/sustainable development project manager at Arc) spoke from the Lille campus, Gaspar Villard (PGE 2014, CSR project manager at Chloé, a French luxury brand) spoke from the Grand Paris campus, and Léna Felderhoff (PGE 2019, consultant and trainer in ecological and social transformation) spoke about her career path and her job from the Sophia Antipolis campus.
