Student Energy Teams Ученически енергийни екипи

Ten Bulgarian schools from three urban communities (Sofia, Samokov, and Veliko Turnovo) and one rural community (Pavel Banya) participated in an international consortium from seven EU countries (incl. Bulgaria, The Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Poland, Portugal, and Romania) in the project Bridging European and Local Climate Action (BEACON) between April 2018 and March 2021. The project’s purpose was to enhance international cooperation in climate action and achieve a common vision for implementing the Paris Agreement. The Student Energy Teams in each school (aged 10-12), mentored by their science teachers, were the core actors in the project. They planned and implemented various science-backed activities for educating their peers, teachers, and parents on sustainable energy consumption and production and for reducing energy consumption in their schools and homes, achieving tangible results.
