Workshop · The Pharmaceutical Industry Fresk (materials in French)
Make GMP knowledge fun and lasting
The Pharmaceutical Industry Fresk is an innovative approach to your GMP training: a playful, collaborative activity focused on the meaning of GMP.
A fresk built together
Participants cooperate to build the fresk, each bringing their own experience and knowledge. At the end of the activity, everyone has a clear view of how GMP activities fit together on a pharmaceutical production site.
What does an employee need to grasp GMP?
Know the meaning of their activities
- Know where they fit in day to day
- Understand that their environment isn’t there by chance
- Understand the risks inherent in their activities
- Understand the impact of their actions on the whole chain
- Understand that it’s together, and through every action, that the company makes the best products on the market
- Be proud to play an active part in the healthcare system
That’s quality culture.
The Pharmaceutical Industry Fresk: how does it work?
Participants have cards, each representing an activity linked to GMP.

An activity in several phases
- At the start of each phase, some of the cards are handed out, grouped by theme: main process, supporting quality processes, day-to-day management…
- The cards are revealed one by one, with an explanation.
- Participants place the cards on the board and link them with arrows, according to how they interact.

For example: to be able to produce, raw material suppliers must be approved, raw materials must be released and equipment must be qualified.
For an overall view
Once all the cards have been turned over and placed, you get a map of the site’s quality activities, in which every participant can find their place.
