EDP Renovables (EDPR) launched "Tu Energía" [Your Energy], an educational programme that shows children the importance of renewables in our daily life and the difference between fossil and renewable energy sources.
This project was run in schools and sought to foster a change in environmental behaviour using interactive materials and simple and clear language to explain energy-related concepts.
Six cartoon characters have been created to educate and engage the children taking part in this programme and they represent the different aspects of energy: solar, hydraulic, wind power, geothermal, biomass and energy efficiency.
“The Tu Energía programme is an example of EDP Renovables’s commitment to society and the new generations. The main objective of the programme is to make young people more aware and be committed to protecting the environment,” said the EDPR Europe COOO, João Paulo Costeira.
In 2014, EDPR will run this project in the Albacete region where it has had wind farms since 2004.
The project will be implemented in over 30 local schools from 11 February to April.
This is an EDP Group programme that was kicked off in Portugal as “Una TuaEnergia”. EDP Spain got the programme underway in Spain and EDPR will now take it to different regions where its wind farms are present.
Fundación EDP’s mission is to strengthen the commitment of the EDP Group in the geographical spheres in which the group operates, with special emphasis on those social, cultural, environmental and educational areas related to research that spearheads global sustainable development. The initiative described in this press release forms part of the whole series of actions promoted by the Foundation.
Luz Minera is the title of the winning project of the second Public Art Ideas Competition, a competition organised by the EDP Foundation.
