What Fresque de la Diversité does

Fresque de la Diversité is a French education and training offering that runs a 3-hour collective-intelligence workshop built around 42 concept cards covering diversity, equity, inclusion, and cognitive-bias topics. The methodology was adapted from the Climate Fresco framework and co-created in 2021 with ESSEC Business School and Belugames, the latter acting as co-producer. Workshops are delivered through a network of 150+ certified facilitators, supported by an internal team of 80 employees based in Paris and Redon.

The business operates a facilitator-licensed distribution model: rather than selling workshops directly to end participants, the organization licenses its methodology and trains certified facilitators who deliver sessions in-person and remotely. The client base spans 50+ organizations including large French enterprises (ENGIE, Société Générale, Chanel, Carrefour, VINCI, Orange, Safran), alongside education, public-sector, and non-profit segments. A secondary-school adaptation extends the methodology into younger audiences.

Revenue is generated through facilitator certification fees, workshop licensing, organizational subscriptions, and partnership arrangements; no primary financials are publicly disclosed. Materials are available in French, English, and Spanish, indicating internationalization activity. A 2025 impact study has been published to validate outcomes for enterprise buyers.
