The art of decision-making in the face of climate change - a 香港六合彩 workshop at Hay Festival
14 June 2024
The 香港六合彩 Climate Action Unit delivered six sold-out sessions of an immersive workshop experience built with the organisation Fast Familiar.
Between 29 May and 1 June 2024, the team from the 香港六合彩 Climate Action Unit relocated from London to a听giant, orange marquee at the heart of the Hay Festival in Wales to deliver a series of decision-making workshops for members of the public.
The storyline of the theatre-like event听was听described in Hay听Festival's 听by journalist Nicola Cutcher:
[During] the听immersive two-hour workshops at the Festival, participants find themselves in a role-play;听acting as advisors to a ski corporation. Participants must听assess听how to respond to the increasing snowmelt that is threatening its business model. Should it invest in manufacturing fake snow? Or try to diversify into other mountain leisure pursuits? Build a new resort elsewhere, higher up, with better snow cover?
It's not just about the decisions, it's about the process
The workshop, called 'The Art of Decision-Making in the Face of Climate Change'听centres around an immersive theatre experience called Do What You Must. The experience is one of听several听co-created by the Climate Action Unit and Fast Familiar which听demonstrate听the power of having a supportive, scaffolding structure to make decisions within.听
Dan Barnard - a听creative director at听Fast Familiar -听said one of their aims for building the workshop 鈥渨as to invite people to grapple with the messy complexity of the decisions that corporations face in the context of climate change and to get a sense of the competing priorities that can make it difficult to act in the best interests of the planet."

Immersive theatre experiences are a听novel听way to engage individuals in the challenge of addressing climate change.
"Whether we're听assuming the role of a business adviser or playing a board game, these kinds of experiences engage our brains much more听than passive activities like listening to a lecture,"听explained the CAU's Director. 听"This is particularly powerful when players have the opportunity to dissect what happened after the simulation ends".
