Espresso Train-the-trainer

The EU Espresso course is successfully running since 2023. As community energy knowledge needs to spread across European municipalities, we appreciate you decided to learn how to translate and adapt it to your own national context. This is why we designed this self-paced e-learning course for people from national organisations who are passionate about community energy and convinced that local authorities have an important role to play in the promotion of citizen-lead renewable energy projects.

In this self-paced course, Energy Cities' baristas will take you through three modules:

• Module 1: The science behind Espresso
• Module 2: The Grind - preparation and adaptation
• Module 3: Take me to the coffee shop - recruitment and learner satisfaction

The course will help you set up your own Espresso from A to Z, from the technical features of the Moodle learning platform to communication tips around recruitment of learners.

Each module is based on some (not boring) theory that comes in different formats: reading, watching or listening. In between, you will have some exercises that will help you test and anchor your new knowledge. The exercises are short and fun.

Like with the original EU Espresso course, every module should not take much longer than 2 hours. The only difference: you will leave as a trained energy community barista.
