Educator's Digital Briefcase
Your teaching toolkit for clean energy and critical thinkingA curated set of resources for educators and trainers — designed to bring clean energy literacy and disinformation resilience into the classroom. From ready-to-run session guides to open educational resources and interactive tools, everything here is built for teaching.
Teaching clean energy is no longer just about facts and technologies. Students need to recognise disinformation when they encounter it, understand why false narratives about renewables spread, and develop the tools to respond. This briefcase brings together the teaching materials developed throughout the POWER project — facilitator guides, OERs, experiential scenarios and reference tools — organised so you can find what you need whether you’re preparing a single session or a full week-long programme. All resources are free to use and adapt under Creative Commons.
Facilitator Guides
Run any session with confidence. Step-by-step guides for each block of the Clean Energy Café programme. Each guide includes session objectives, a timed schedule, facilitation tips, expected outcomes and a FAQ — plus direct links to the digital resources used in that session. Available as web pages with a one-click PDF download.
Experiential Scenarios
Learning by doing, at scale. Three immersive scenarios designed for group use in the classroom: an EV disinformation investigation in VR (Malta), an AR gymkhana on hydropower narratives (Romania), and a fact-checking and counter-narrative challenge. Each includes all the facilitation materials needed to run it.
Science Communication Bank
Show students what good looks like. Real examples of effective science communication on clean energy, grouped by the five principles that make a message work — clarity and accuracy, audience, storytelling, trust, and overcoming barriers. Each example pairs a good practice or a pitfall with the mechanism behind it.
Disinformation Case Bank
Real cases, real analysis. A bank of documented disinformation cases on clean energy from across Europe. Each entry includes the claim, the context, the spread mechanism and a fact-based response.
POWER Lexicon & Fact-Checking Launchpad
Reference tools for the classroom. Two complementary resources for teaching verification and building a shared language. The Lexicon covers clean energy and disinformation terminology. The Fact-Checking Launchpad brings together curated verification tools and authoritative sources.
Online Course & OERs
The full programme, module by module. The complete POWER online course across five modules, plus all individual OERs available as standalone open educational resources in SCORM format. Lectures, workshops and experiential scenarios — each one reusable independently or as part of a sequence.
