FEDARENE member KSSENA among REGIOSTARS winners

REGIOSTARS announced the six EU funded projects who convinced the jury of their contribution to regional development. Energy@School, a project of junior energy guardians, won in the category “Youth empowerment for cooperation across borders – 30 years of Interreg”. Our member Savinjska, Šaleška and Carinthia Energy Agency (KSSENA) is part of it.

41 primary and secondary schools across seven European countries took part in this project. Pupils and teachers were being designated as energy guardians, giving them the task of reducing their school’s energy consumption. It involved the use of technologies such as smart meters, detectors app, but also training programs.

This project, in addition to raising the awareness of young people, addresses the energy efficiency problem faced by school buildings.

This project has been financed through the Interreg Central Europe Operational Programme for 2014-2020.
