In this article, we explain what the fresker's journey is, and what steps need to be taken to progress on it.

📝 What is the Fresker’s Journey?

• The aim of the fresker's journey is to enhance progress for the entire community by setting essential steps and fostering the exchange of good practices between facilitators of different level of experience.

• Each belt comes with a set of rules to access the upper level and its benefits.

  • Your progression is automatic up to the orange belt , through the number of workshops that you facilitate. Beyond that, you need higher level belt validations to progress in your journey.

⚪ White Belt

Welcome to the journey!

You have just been trained to facilitate, you automatically become a White Belt.

🟡 Towards the Yellow belt

🟢 Towards the Green Belt

Here, the journey route gets a little tougher… As it shouldtrickier... which is normal!

When you become a green belt, you'll be training new white belts and upgrading the skills of existing the other facilitators (white, yellow, or orange belts). You'll need to master the classic workshop, as well as the different workshop formats and their specific features, know how the association works and be able to coordinate/coach mentor a deployment.

In the following order, you need to carry out these different missions.will have to follow the different steps of the path detailed below:

The steps are planned in this order to help you make the transition from facilitator to trainer. Each stage will be an opportunity for you to exchange ideas with other fresco artists freskers and to continue learning, which is the great strength of the Climate Fresk community!

If, during the course of your journey, your supervisor feels that you are not yet ready to validate a stage, step, he or she will work with you, possibly in consultation with the community, he or she will guide you through on the various ways in which you can improve of improving in order to achieve the stagestep's objective.

1.

Run a minimum of 15 workshops

It's all in the title! This stage step will be automatically validated as soon as your counter reaches this threshold. Trying out different types of facilitation and different formats (Inin-person/Onlineonline) will enrich your practice, so don't hesitate to co-present host as much many as possible! you can

2.

Complete your fresker's assessment

The assessment enables you to take stock of your progress as a facilitator, and to check that you have tried out all the workshop formats, so that once your green belt has been validatedyou have become a Green Belt, you will be in a position to talk about it to the faciliatator facilitators you will be training. Tell Send this assessment to the green belt who will be interviewing you, and to the green belt who will be supervising your workshop.

3.

Being interviewed by a Green Belt

The purpose of the this interview is to take stock of your career as a fresco artistfresker, your involvement in the Climate Fresk project and to see how you see imagine your future role as a trainer. Becoming a green belt means being able to train new facilitators , but also to support as well as supporting new facilitators in their first steps, which requires a good knowledge of how the association works, the different workshop formats and details of the path from orange belt to green belt with co-optations.

• Identify a an available green belt available in order to conduct schedule this interview of approximately 1 hourone-hour interview with them. You can directly ask a green belt you know, use use either the directory or this fileComplete your self assessment to prepare yourself for the green belt questionstelegram channel..

"not yet" rather than a

"no".

they refuse, don't panic!

This is never a definitive refusal, but an invitation to look more closely at certain facilitation points or approaches

This is a tricky exercise, and requires some preparation beforehand, as you will be supervised on your first practice, unlike the workshop supervision. Don't hesitate to take the time you need to prepare, between the briefing and the supervision.
