Invitation to participate in the Poweryouth programme

 The POWERYOUTH programme is an opportunity for young people who are interested in clean energy and want to acquire practical skills in an international business environment. Through an interactive learning experience, participants will have the opportunity to meet other young people with a shared vision, work with experts in the field and explore how energy communities work in practice. Participation is free of charge and supported by the European Union.

The programme includes an introductory preparation, where the basic principles of clean energy and how the programme works will be presented. This will be followed by an online introduction to the trainers and other participants, where objectives will be set and views exchanged. One of the most exciting parts of the programme is a site visit to an active energy community, where participants will have the opportunity to see applied solutions such as photovoltaic panels, electric vehicle chargers and smart grids, and talk to local stakeholders. 

The training continues with two days of intensive, experiential learning through workshops, simulations and group exercises, aiming to create a model energy project. At the end of the programme, participants will take part in an online session where they will share experiences and plan actions to implement solutions in their communities.

The first cycle of the project in Greece will run from 29 May to 7 June 2025, while similar actions will take place in other countries such as Portugal, Austria, Poland and Latvia.

The programme is aimed at young people over 18 years old who are residents of a European Union country, have a strong interest in clean energy and sustainable development, have a good understanding of the English language and are willing to actively participate in all phases of the programme.

Participation is free of charge and travel expenses are covered, upon submission of the necessary documents. Upon completion of the programme, participants will receive an official certificate confirming the acquisition of basic skills in planning, financing and implementing energy initiatives.

Interested parties can submit their application through the online application form. For more information, they can contact [email protected] or [email protected].
