Energy Academy

An educational program that gathers online content for students and teachers, games, bootcamps, contests and exchanges

Educating for the future involves promoting knowledge in new areas of development. Renewable energies are part of the design of a more sustainable future, and that will be for children.

Promoting the education of the younger generation so that they are aware of their active role in society and how they can act for a better world and in the fight against climate change. These young people will be ambassadors for the environment and the vehicle for change through interactive learning. The Energy Academy is more than an educational program it’s a movement towards a brighter, greener future.

Presencial classes

We bring to schools the possibility of a morning thinking about the cities of the future, with challenges heavily based on different energy sources.

This project began in Brazil in 2002 (by then it was called EDP in Schools) and throughout these last 20 years, has been able to support over 250.000 students and 15.000 teachers in nearly 850 schools, that otherwise wouldn’t have access to school material, teacher’s training, and so many learning initiatives that stimulate the educational process. This project, one of the oldest from the EDP Institute, essentially acts within communities that have any type of hardship, be it financial, material, or of human resources, trying, conjointly with the schools, to suppress some of those issues. 

Due to its success, the project evolved to a program that expanded to Spain in 2010 and Portugal, Italy and Poland in 2023, reaching more that 250.000 students and 15.000 teachers in nearly 850 schools. 

 

Online content with games 

Support tools for teachers and students, with a variety of content to encourage the acquisition of new knowledge through gamification. They amplify the specific impact achieved in face-to-face events. There you can find downloadable content, tutorials, escape rooms, quizzes and puzzles about energy.

Bootcamps 

Immersive and intergenerational thinking bootcamps to deconstruct real sustainability problems and co-create the future of your community, which involves the participation of partner companies and municipalities for a day of design thinking, project management introduction, and leadership.

In Portugal the bootcamps started in 2023 reaching 360 students, 10 schools and 30 partners, such as Microsoft, Michael Page, Denmark Embassy and NOVA University, Google and local entrepreneurs. Bootcamps will expand to Spain in 2025.
 

Contests

The educational action is aimed at students in the second and third cycles of primary education and seeks to raise environmental awareness among children through the proposal of initiatives to improve sustainability in their immediate environment: their school.

It happens in Brazil, Spain and Portugal reaching more than 10.000 students and 87 schools.

Exchanges

Students and teachers from schools are challenged to create an exchange program with other schools that showcases their school and activities with ideas for a just energy transition.

The exchange programs have impacted 2.800 students, 48 schools and 365 teachers. 

Other figures:

68% - Young people discuss the topic of energy transition after participating in the program

81% - Teachers believe that the program contributes to improving students' academic performance

82% - The program contributes to the enhancement of social, relational, and action skills of the students
