Our Mission
The POWER project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, is dedicated to addressing the challenges posed by disinformation in the context of clean energy.
Our mission is to empower communities, build resilience, and promote informed discussions about clean energy solutions through education, collaboration, and innovation.
What we do
POWER focuses on equipping students, educators, professionals and policy makers with the tools and knowledge they need to recognise and tackle misinformation. By fostering collaboration and co-creation, the project promotes sustainable solutions and improves public understanding of clean energy technologies.
Key activities include
- Interactive learning: through Clean Energy Cafés, Living Labs and online modules, participants gain practical skills and insights.
- Digital resources: The eLearning Hub offers customised tools such as the Digital Briefcases for practitioners and educators, as well as multimedia stories that counter false narratives.
- Community engagement: Events and campaigns encourage dialogue and action across diverse communities.
Our Goals
- Strengthen societal resilience against misinformation related to clean energy.
- Foster multidisciplinary collaboration across borders and sectors.
- Promote critical thinking and media literacy to empower informed decision-making.
- Ensure accessibility and scalability of educational resources for long-term impact.
