What´s the solution?

In 2008, E.ON launched a large-scale virtual learning program called EnergiaKaland, which aims to help teachers raise awareness regarding energy use and to enhance childrens’ and students’ energy-related knowledge and improve their competence. The program was developed jointly by experts from the Ministry of Education. The related portal on the internet provides students and teachers energy-related knowledge from the age of 6 to 18, free of charge for everyone.

Business connection

In today’s world, it is increasingly important to acquire a basic energetic knowledge that helps us make responsible decisions on our own energy usage every day. Through our EnergiaKaland program, we want to support the growing generations with our expertise – in collaboration with schools – in making this knowledge easier and more attainable through modern and creative tools.

The common goal is to provide comprehensive education materials in the areas of energy awareness, energy security and energy conservation to hungarian schools, considering the goals of sustainable development.

Results

The key results and milestones achieved since the beginning of the program in 2008:

  • Our volunteers held EnergyKaland educating lessons in 205 Educational Institutions reaching thousands of children.
