Our vision<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text css=””]Community Energy River: Strengthening Energy Democracy<\/strong><\/p>\n

We envision a <\/span>society of engaged citizens<\/b> where everyone creates a positive environmental impact and <\/span>participates equally in addressing the climate crisis<\/b>. We approach this challenge through interdisciplinary and creative methods, guided by our core values: collective action, individual responsibility, aesthetics, knowledge, and joy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our activities advance the <\/span>Sustainable Development Goals<\/b> related to energy by promoting energy saving, local energy production and consumption, and energy democracy. Through these efforts, we contribute to a sustainable future while helping to alleviate energy poverty.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#eaeaea”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]

Our educational activity<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text css=””]We learn by playing, we become active citizens by learning!<\/b><\/p>\n

How can we envision a sustainable future without planting the seeds of awareness and understanding in today’s younger generations<\/span>? Recognizing education’s transformative power, <\/span>we prioritize education since 2018, designing and implementing experiential environmental education workshops mainly for children and youth<\/b>\u00a0that unite art with scientific knowledge about energy as interconnected elements in youth activation.<\/span><\/p>\n

We believe knowledge drives action. The more we understand, the more motivated we become to protect our planet and our lives upon it. The sooner we act, the greater our impact can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

We believe in the <\/span>power of “togetherness”<\/b>! Achieving our goals requires collective effort – like electrons, we are drops of water that need the ocean to become a wave.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
