Three major legacy-related goals were achieved at this event: inspiring young people to consider careers in one of the growth industries of the future, encouraging informed multi-level discussion of the key issues from families to governments, and influencing policy at the European level.
This Case Study forms part of Wonderful Copenhagen’s ‘Cases from Congresses’ series, supporting selected strongholds of Copenhagen: Life-Science, Green Transition, and Information & Communications Technology.
ENERGY & WATER, an innovative environmental education centre in Copenhagen, organised an Open House for local school children and their families to raise public awareness of wind energy and inspire children to consider a career in the wind sector.
Over 500 children and parents participated in interactive, hands-on activities
A Delegation Visit, including representatives from the European Commission, OECD, the wind industry, politicians, and decision makers, took place to showcase Denmark’s educational model in wind and promote the Teacher’s Toolkit, a new educational resource for teachers in Denmark and across the EU.
A successful collaboration between the wind energy sector and the educational system in Denmark
“From hands-on activities for families to a Teacher’s Toolkit piloted in Danish classrooms, this legacy initiative did more than deliver a great event. It fuelled curiosity, supported skills development, and inspired conversations that will shape the future of renewable energy in Denmark.”
