Online mentoring to guide your home renovation journey

Transform your One-Stop Shop (OSS) for sustainable home renovation with the EU PEERS Online Mentoring Programme. Over four hours of virtual sessions, you’ll work directly with the single mentor whose expertise best matches your organisation’s goals, whether you’re launching a new OSS or enhancing existing services.

Why join?

In four hours, two 90-minute workshops plus a one-hour session, you’ll gain:

• Practical strategies (depending on your topic of choice), for integrating green-heating into your Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP), reaching vulnerable households, or developing community-driven renovation models.
• Actionable insights on business-model creation, customer engagement and skills-building that will immediately benefit your team.
• A multiplier effect as you share new knowledge with colleagues and embed best practices across your organisation.
