  • Make us consider our real needs and then the courses of action ;
  • Give a global vision of the curent impact of the construction sector on our environment.

For who?

Everyone is concerned about climate change and biodiversity loss. The Construction Collage was therefore designed for people with an interest in the construction sector as well as for all construction professionals: the former will discover the subject and deconstruct their prejudices, while the latter will go deeper and question their practices.

Where?

The workshop can be animated on your premisesin a room at our disposal, or online. We will think about this together when we organise the Collage.

Why?

Because the climate emergency requires us to change course very quickly. One of the keys is understanding the problem.

The data...

Building techniques and regulations vary greatly between countries and regions. We’ve gathered global data and local illustrations to raise issues. France largely.

The sources The reports come from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Environmental Transition Agency (ADEME), the Centre for Economic Studies and Research on Energy (CEREN), the Technical Interprofessional Centre for Atmospheric Pollution Studies (CITEPA), the National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), Carbon 4 and the National Carbon Strategy (SNBC). We will send you the synthesis of these at the end of Collage.

How do we play?

The game is very simple. The players are team from 4 to 8They have cards representing the different components linked to the construction sector and work together to find cause and effect links by theme by positioning and linking them together. A facilitator supervises one or more teams in order to guide them during the workshop, ensure good communication between members and provide additional explanations.
