Overview
Sure, you don’t want to exclude anyone. But let’s be honest, do you know how to include everyone? Learn about some practical approaches to make your energy project more accessible to people with diverse views, backgrounds and experiences – with our brand new Espresso training module.
The more diverse our community-led energy initiatives are, the richer the perspectives and ideas we bring to the table—leading to stronger, more impactful results.
But here’s the catch: many energy communities are still largely driven by the same small group of well-informed and active residents. Involving a broader range of people—tenants, homeowners, young people, migrants of all gender, race, religion — remains a real challenge. That’s where this new Espresso module on Inclusive and Equitable Energy Communities comes in.
What you'll learn
- Part 1 : Setting the scene – Understanding the benefits of inclusion and using the concept of intersectionality to set up and manage an energy community that benefits everyone
- Part 2: Map your area – Discover methods for identifying the people and communities in your area, their profiles, knowledge, motivations and needs, in order to prioritise your actions
- Part 3: Diversify your approaches – Learn how to carry out engagement, communication and governance activities whilst taking into account the needs and capabilities of diverse groups of people
- Part 4: Track progress collectively and address gaps in inclusion – Discover monitoring methods and indicators to assess and adjust your action plan
Requirements
- This free, two-hour course, which you can complete at your own pace, is designed to help you incorporate issues of inclusivity and intersectionality into your energy projects – whether you’re a member of an association, an SME or an employee of a local authority. We’ve combined theory with practical approaches to inclusion, so you can quickly put this knowledge into practice.
- You can take the course or interact with other learners in your native language using our platform’s language selector.
