AT A GLANCE
POWERYOUTH is a project focused on empowering and involving young people in energy communities to actively contribute to the energy transition. The project recognises the significance of youth leadership in adopting new lifestyles and acquiring skills for supporting sustainable energy practices.
With 2022 being designated as the European Year of Youth, POWERYOUTH aims to address the lack of tools for systematically reinforcing youth participation in energy communities and providing training for energy sustainability.

- Create and execute a comprehensive and easily replicable capacity building programme to train young people in green energy skills and promote their participation in energy communities;
- Mobilise youth organisations and local authorities to replicate the POWERYOUTH approach across EU;
- Formulate policy recommendations and develop exploitation plans for accelerating youth energy communities’ adoption in new areas;
POWERYOUTH HELPDESK
POWERYOUTH delivers a comprehensive and easily replicable capacity-building programme to equip young people with green energy skills. The programme covers essential areas such as clean energy, energy production and storage, and adopting energy-efficient lifestyles. Its aim is to empower both young people and local and regional authorities with the skills needed to contribute to the green economy, promote sustainable energy practices, and reduce barriers for aspiring young green entrepreneurs.
The POWERYOUTH programme is structured around three key learning modules: technical skills, business expertise, and social skills. Each module offers practical guidance on establishing and managing youth energy communities, fostering innovation and sustainable energy solutions.
You can take part in this capacity-building programme and seize the opportunity to become the next leader of an Energy Community!
