PlayEnergy

PlayEnergy aims to the awareness of students in relation to the principles of sustainable development and the use of the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) both through the electricity production and other useful implementations in everyday life. Through the PlayEnergy creative initiatives, students have the opportunity to find out more about the RES, such as hydroelectric, solar and wind energy, fostering this way from an early age a friendly attitude towards the environment and the green habits.

Students aged 6 to 18.

PlayEnergy lasts 1½ teaching hour and the teams of participants consist of maximum 20 persons. After half an hour of introduction, the students have the opportunity to experience interactive activities and games, especially designed for PlayEnergy.

Play Energy is an Enel Group international educational program which brings students and teachers to the heart of energy and it is addressed to elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools. The main objective of the program is to raise awareness among the young generations on the world of energy. PlayEnergy focuses on the role the RES can play in the present and the future, emphasizing on topics such as the importance of the sun as the primary source for energy production, the differences between traditional and renewable energy sources and the need for saving energy. In Greece, the specific program is realized upon the approval of the Hellenic Ministry for Education and it is updated every year.
