Poland: Engaging our Communities

EDPR in Poland organized several events in November in order to build relationships with local stakeholders and opinion leaders.
"Your Energy" in the towns of Radziejow and Budzyn
Specialists from EDPR hosted the second edition of "Your Energy", an educational project for elementary school children. The aim of the event was to educate children about energy that comes from wind, solar, hydro, geothermal and biomass resources. The experts also demonstrated how to use electricity in an eco-friendly way. Children learned a lot about renewable energy through the kid-friendly activities, which included experiments, animations and stories. After the workshops, each student received a drawstring backpack, puzzle and a workbook.

Radziejow Wind Farm - "The Windmills" educational performance
"The Windmills" performance was created by a group of experts to educate children about wind power through a tailored theatrical experience.

The show followed the lives of the zany Windmills Family, who depend on the wind for their livelihood.
