It is important for young people to learn about energy efficiency to gain the knowledge and tools to protect their future environment. The schools programme demonstrates how to be energy efficient in a home or school environment, and in the wider world. The educational package will equip your students with the tools to help you reduce environmental damage, but could also save money on energy bills. The programme is aimed at encouraging young people and their parents to be more energy efficient and to be aware of energy issues.
Parents
Although the programme is predominately aimed at school pupils and college students the Energy Efficiency Advice Centre can deliver bespoke presentations and training to parents and family members. This training can be an add-on to an existing school booking or as a separate session.
Teachers
The programme can deliver training and presentations to teachers and school staff. All training is tailor made to cover the schools particular requirements. The programme can also educate on how to make the school itself more energy efficient and what schemes and resources are available. Training can include the Eco Schools and Sustainable Schools Programme.
Business and Community Groups
Advice for businesses and community groups is available via the Community Action for Energy (CAfE) programme operated by the Energy Saving Trust. CAfE is designed to promote and facilitate local community-based energy projects.
