Originating from the success of <em>The Climate Fresk<\/em>, <strong>these educational tools aim to simplify complex systems through collective intelligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a themed card game, participants are invited to reconstruct a system of causes and effects related to a specific issue. This playful and interactive approach encourages deeper understanding of the challenges, fosters dialogue, and opens the door to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Understanding the shifts in higher education is critical if we truly want to anticipate the future and lead meaningful transformation. A \u2018simple\u2019 game makes this accessible\u2014it levels the playing field, provides everyone with the same level of information, builds shared urgency, and turns awareness into action. It empowers everyone, in their daily roles and collectively, to contribute to the transformation of our School&#8221;<\/em>,explains Maria Castillo, Director of Strategic Development Projects at I\u00c9SEG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">The Higher Education Fresk: a tailor-made tool created by I\u00c9SEG<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing that higher education itself is undergoing deep changes\u2014geopolitical, societal, technological, environmental, and demographic\u2014I\u00c9SEG developed a bespoke tool: the Higher Education Fresk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conceived, designed, and fully created by I\u00c9SEG\u2019s teams, this workshop invites participants to reflect on the major challenges affecting the sector, their consequences, and especially the solutions needed<\/strong> for the School to continue adapting to a shifting landscape and maintain its trajectory of growth and its standing among the world\u2019s leading institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fresk was first deployed during the Vision 2025 Seminar, which brought together staff, students, and alumni in an immersive, collaborative, and reflective format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">A collective experience valued and set to become widespread<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Feedback from participants highlights the richness of the experience. Sonia Levillain, a management professor at the School, shares: <em>\u201cThis Fresk was a wonderful shared experience. It levels the playing field regarding the sector\u2019s challenges by placing us in a flipped classroom dynamic: we became active agents in our discovery and learning. We realized how the sector\u2019s context, upcoming challenges, and their consequences interconnect&#8230; and we understand that it is truly time to act!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IESEG-VISION_GET_TOGETHER_2025-IESEG___Marque_et_Communication-189638-1920px-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-177060\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Julie Meunier, a student at I\u00c9SEG, agrees: <em>\u201cThis game encouraged us to think and discuss together. We built genuine team cohesion, shared our perspectives, and brainstormed collective solutions. As a student, I really appreciated that my ideas were welcomed with the same respect as those of professors and administrative staff \u2014 it was truly rewarding. I loved being recognized and able to express myself. It was a fantastic experience to work together on the future of my school.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pietro BORSOTTI, Head of Corporate Relations at I\u00c9SEG and facilitator of the Fresk, was impressed by everyone\u2019s engagement: \u201c<em>As a facilitator, I was amazed by the energy in each group. There was a lot of creativity, and each group created a unique Fresk despite using the same cards. New ideas emerged from all these discussions.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christophe Catoir, Chair of I\u00c9SEG\u2019s Board of Directors, also took part in the Higher Education Fresk alongside students and staff: <em>\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to see all the School\u2019s stakeholders\u2014staff, students, alumni\u2014come together and work as a team. You realize there are a thousand different ways forward. The issues seem obvious, yet it\u2019s about choosing the right card to succeed&#8230; That\u2019s real leadership, and it\u2019s exciting to experience. As I like to say, \u2018Lead the game \u2013 lead the change.\u2019 I\u00c9SEG has proven in the past that it can make bold choices to establish itself among France\u2019s top business schools and internationally. What radical choice will the School make tomorrow to meet these challenges and the rapidly evolving context?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By launching this initiative, <strong>I\u00c9SEG affirms its commitment to making the sector\u2019s transformation a collective and inclusive project<\/strong>. Additional sessions of the Higher Education Fresk are already planned with students, partner companies, and others\u2014with the goal of enriching strategic reflection and inspiring future decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demographic decline in the student population, geopolitical tensions, and the rise of extremism limiting international student mobility,
