Get ready to dive in! The materials for the POWER course will be made available during the "Face-to-Face Clean Energy Cafes" between June and September 2026. After that, they will be available to you as Open Educational Resources (OERs) under a Creative Commons Share Alike licence.
These resources are available here on this platform as well as on EPALE and the Erasmus+ project results platform and are aimed at all teachers, trainers and curious people who want to do something about clean energy and misinformation. Open, free and ready for you!
Participants of the Clean Energy Cafés have the unique opportunity to earn a certification of participation and the Clean Energy Disinformation Analyst badge, which formally recognises their acquired skills and contributions during the programme.
