Pilot countries 2025-2025
This project brings together schools, industry, education NGOs, and policymakers to strengthen climate and STEM education with a focus on wind energy. Through hands-on learning, students explore how renewable electricity is generated, why it matters, and the career opportunities that come with it.
Cross-sectoral cooperation is at the heart of this initiative. Strengthening the curriculum with real-world examples goes beyond a single teacher’s efforts—it means working with industry to connect learning to new trends, new technologies, and students’ everyday lives.
Implemented in 1 school and 3 school networks in Denmark, in 4 schools in Poland, and 3 schools in Ireland, together with wind energy national associations, Green Power Denmark (GPD), PWEA and Wind Energy Ireland respectively. The project shows how different contexts can shape wind energy education. Approaches range from integrating wind topics to interdisciplinary subjects to industry partnerships that offer students real-world exposure, including field visits to energy facilities and direct interactions with professionals.
Donegal Students Inspired
by Energia Wind Farm Visit
Students at St. Ernan’s NS explored Energia’s wind farm through WindEurope’s education programme, supported by Wind Energy Ireland and STEAM Education, promoting climate action awareness.
Ireland was selected as part of this exciting new WindEurope education programme to deliver wind energy classes for schools. We are very excited to roll this out with selected schools including this Donegal group. The new Leaving Certificate subject on Climate Action and Sustainable Development shows both the demand and the importance that is now placed on learning more about this at a young age.
Communications Manager, Wind Energy Ireland
the 5th and 6th classes had prepared for the visit by learning about wind farms in the classroom: “The children are used to driving past wind farms and have shown a lot of interest in finding out more in class but nothing beats seeing a wind turbine up close and hearing about what’s involved in constructing a wind farm like this and getting all the components to site. It’s good for them to hear about potential careers and jobs in green energy – especially local jobs.
Principal of St Ernan’s
The future leaders of energy and climate action are in our primary school classrooms today and we need to support them on their journey to a sustainable future.
Managing Direction
STEAM Education
It’s always a pleasure to host school visits. The Energia Renewables Operations team are committed to promoting wind energy education. You can tell that the school children are paying attention in class because, when they arrive onsite, they really keep us on our toes by asking lots of questions about everything they see around them. Who knows, we may have inspired some future wind energy engineers here today to work in wind.
