"Energy forever! Youth exploring the reasoning and opportunities of alternative energies".
YE "Energy forever? A youth exchange exploring the reasoning and the opportunities of alternative energies" is a non formal learning mobility, which will bring together 42 participants from NGOs in Germany and Poland, Slovakia and Romania, Italy, Spain and France.
Participants will travel by bike and with tents through the wonderful area of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Cispomerania We will travel from Neustrelitz to Neubrandenburg to Greifswald some 160 kilometers and visit over 15 locations, where we encounter different kinds of energy production from renewable sources, but also optimization of fossile energy and in the end past (nuclear) and future (fusion) energy forms.
The main objective is that the participants receive coherent and also critcial picture of the latest developments in the field of renewable energy.
They will gain a sufficient understanding through peer learning events and excursions.
They will realize the importance of an EU driven regulatory framework and the different policies in the field of energy.
They will learn to judge the outlook of transitions taking place in Germany to meet the proclaimed climate goals. The experiences of this exchange will equip the participants and their organisations with sound and practical knowledge.
They will understand developments in their own countries and mirrow those results with those encountered during their travels.
They will be able to develop own initiatives to support progress and hopefully develop own social and entrepreneurial activities in the field of energy production.
As this project is an ecological endeavour all participants will travel by bike, sleep in tents and cook their own food to waste as little energy as possible.
