Teacher toolkit for primary school
The WindEurope Teacher Toolkit for Primary Schools is an educational resource designed to help primary school teachers introduce students to the fundamentals of wind energy. The toolkit includes a variety of materials—such as lesson plans, interactive activities, and supplementary educational resources—all aimed at making learning about wind power engaging and accessible for young learners.
It is intended for educators who wish to incorporate renewable energy topics into their teaching, providing them with the tools needed to effectively communicate both the environmental importance and the mechanics of wind energy in a fun and educational way. The toolkit is structured to cover topics across multiple disciplines.

Teacher toolkit for secondary school
This toolkit connects the subjects of science and technology, mathematics, history, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering with wind energy topics. It is designed to suit any school and any teacher who wishes to educate their students about wind energy. The teaching methods central to this curriculum include technological literacy, practical expertise, engineering, and innovation. While the curriculum can be implemented in a traditional classroom setting, the use of a Makerspace is recommended.

Inspiring stories from people working in clean energy
To help save the world, you don’t have to be a super hero. Simply by deciding to do certain jobs, we can all help look after our planet, our environment and our future generations. This is a book about 21 people who are working in clean energy; what they all have in common is that they are passionate about their job, and work on tackling the climate crisis. Meet Vanessa who ensures our 'Teams' calls are as green as possible, Swarna who studies the wind to put her turbines in the best locations; Nicolas who flies drones to check for cracks in the blades; and Jos who builds playgrounds from old wind turbines. There are people from all continents who will tell you about their clean energy jobs, what subjects they studied and the skills they needed to be able to do what they do now.

Let the wind blow
Our fully-illustrated children’s book on wind energy, released in 2019 and now available in 38 languages!
Inspired by a chat between two mums and a young Iranian artist, this is an ideal introduction to wind for any children you know! Visit the website to get the book in your language, download illustrations to colour in, and even listen to videos of the story being read aloud!
Get the bookLesson plans for technical
secondary schools
A guide designed for secondary school teachers to introduce students to renewable energy sources, with a focus on offshore applications. It aims to foster understanding of offshore renewable energy’s role in mitigating climate change. The educational materials include lesson plans and guidebooks.
FLORES card game
The FLORES Card Game is an interactive educational tool designed to introduce students to diverse and intriguing job profiles within the offshore renewable energy sector. Aimed at secondary school students, the game encourages players to learn about various roles by mimicking, drawing, and asking questions.
Forward Looking at the Offshore Renewable Energies (FLORES) is an EU-funded project focused on developing tools and activities that foster skills relevant to the offshore renewable energy industry.
Available in 4 languages: English, French, Italian and Spanish.

STEM Education For the Green Transition 2024-2025
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.
