Energiochi: the new edition of the Abruzzo regional energy contest in schools!

The contest is financed by Regione Abruzzo and carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, the Regional School Office, Enea and L’Aquila University and under the umbrella of the Covenant of Mayors in Abruzzo. It targets schools in Regione Abruzzo. The objective, since the first edition in 2005, is to promote the knowledge of energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and to raise awareness on the importance that everyday behaviours have on the environment, as well as to foster sustainable behaviours. The children involved are asked to illustrate the issues affecting our planet in a creative manner (poetry, music, painting, short films..). More than 10.000 students (from 3 to 18 years old) are involved.

Regione Abruzzo is really proud to inform you that Energiochi this year is launched in Spain! The Spanish version Enerjuegos will take place in the province of Avila and will be organized by APEA (Agencia Provincial de la Energia de Avila) with the collaboration of Regione Abruzzo.

In the framework of this great partnership, an exchange of teachers is also foreseen in order to share experiences in teaching, energy, and renewables.
