Energy@School is Behind Energy’s project for secondary schools (Key Stage 3 and 4)
The initiative will open students’ eyes to the true costs of energy and raise awareness among those who will end up pay for the environmental externalities caused by the production and use of energy today. We hope it will stimulate their interest in the topics of energy generation and use, climate change, efficiency and politics.
Read about the project online and download tools for teachers and students.
