Online, 17 March 2023Save the date
For the fifth and last time, Housing Europe in collaboration with partners in the Horizon 2020 project, POWERPOOR will offer a free online course that tackles energy poverty alleviation.
The programme provides all necessary knowledge to support energy-poor citizens to implement energy efficiency interventions and participate in joint energy initiatives, through the development of support programmes and ICT-driven tools. The final goal is to facilitate citizens’ behaviour change towards better energy use and uptake of energy-efficient measures through experience and knowledge sharing.
The training webinar is taking place on the 17th of March (Friday) from 10:30 to 12:30 CET followed by a short lunch break and continuing from 13:15 to 16:30 CET.
Colleagues from public, cooperative, and social housing providers, municipalities, health and social workers, representatives from the academia and anyone who wants to be engaged in tackling the phenomenon can now join a community of several hundreds of POWERPOOR certified Energy Supporters and Mentors, working on the ground, enabling change and providing paths out of energy poverty in their regions.
After the online course, which will be held in English, the participants will be called to take a 15-minute test to become a certified POWERPOOR Energy Supporter and Mentor. From this moment on, you will be part of the POWERPOOR movement and can kick off working with vulnerable households in your city or area.
