FACILITATION GUIDELINES

DEBRIEFING QUESTIONS

MATERIALS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Split players into teams of 4-5 people.

  2. Present each team with the same climate change issue/ topic (i.e. rise in temperatures with an increase in CO2 in the environment and decreased food production) and have them start the obstacle course.

  3. The first obstacle will involve the pairing of the given climate change cause with it's particular impacts. A variety of climate change causes and impacts will be labeled on cards. Teams will be presented with one climate change cause. Each team will have to select 3 impacts to pair with that cause. You must approve their cards before each team can move on. Once approved, tell the team that they can move to the next obstacle.

  4. The second obstacle involves the identification of mitigation strategies. Ask each team to come up with 3 mitigation strategies. Teams will write their strategies on a piece of paper. You must approve their strategies before each team can move on. Once approved, tell the team that they can move to the final obstacle.

  5. The final obstacle involves the identification of a resilience plan for the given climate change issue/ topic. The resilience plan will be presented in the form of a scavenger hunt. Hide the resilience plan steps throughout the space available. Disperse different resilience plans throughout and assign each team one of them. The plans will be numbered, so have the teams follow the steps on their designated numbered card. The cards when placed together will display a resilience plan to help cope with the given climate change issue/ topic.

  6. The team who finishes the obstacle course first wins.

  1. What did you learn?

  2. Which resilience plan will be most effective for the given climate change issue/topic?
