🎉 Special Thanks to Our Amazing Venue Sponsor Lululala Café and chill! 🎉

🙌🏼 Let's give a big shout-out to Lululala for making this event even more special! We have been receiving incredible support from our venue sponsor! 

💎 From the workshop feedback, 100% agreed that the workshop helped gain a better understanding of climate issues. Let’s read some of their comments about the most valuable insight they gained from the Climate Fresk workshop:

- The chain reactions of human activities lead to negative consequences to the environment and again impact human activities.

- It helps me organize the climate change facts and phenomena into a systematic and coherent thread, revealing connections to human activity

💎 Here are their top-voted ideas for actions to take:

- Save energy

- Reduce vehicle use and opt for walking more

- Organise more  training/workshops on climate change 

💎 After the workshop, over 50% of the participants expressed interest in becoming facilitators to continue inspiring climate action. This success wouldn't have been possible without your contributions 👏

🤝 A big thanks to my fellow Climate Fresk facilitators: Andrew Trí Lê and Trâm Phạm, for all their hard work and dedication. And special thanks to our team leader/mentor Mandy (Nhan) Truong and Trang Nguyen for helping along the way.

🌍 We look forward to welcoming more and more people to join our upcoming workshops. Stay tuned!

Growing the Climate Fresk Community in Ho Chi Minh City

After years of facilitating Climate Fresk workshops, I’m excited to take the next step—transitioning from a lead facilitator to a mentor to support and grow the community of Climate Fresk facilitators in Ho Chi Minh City.

Facilitation has been an incredible journey, allowing me to witness firsthand the power of climate education in transforming awareness into action. Now, it’s time to empower more facilitators, helping them build confidence, refine their skills, and spread climate literacy even further.

The demand for climate education is growing, and so is the need for passionate individuals to step up as facilitators. My goal is to create a strong, connected, and thriving community that can scale climate awareness and action across Vietnam.

If you’re interested in joining this journey as a Climate Fresk facilitator, let’s connect! The more facilitators we have, the bigger impact we can make. 🌱💡🌎
