We brought children closer to the concept of Renewable Energy, with a unique episode
We hosted the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) children's program "Discovering the World", in a special episode dedicated to wind energy, entitled "The Power of Wind: A Source of Energy for Man". At our Martino Wind Farm, we welcomed kids who had the opportunity to get to know how wind energy works and what role Renewable Energy Sources can play in ensuring the sustainability of our planet.
Combining learning with entertainment, we explored the world of wind energy together with the young viewers, in a way that fosters imagination and curiosity.
Open knowledge at the wind farm
As part of the episode, we traveled to the Martino Wind Farm, in Fthiotida, and guided our young guests around the park's premises, as well as the inside of a wind turbine generator. With the help of Principia's engineer, the children learned how the power of the wind is harnessed to generate electricity, but also how a wind turbine works and is maintained. The contact with technology and the natural environment created an ideal framework for a meaningful educational experience.
Then, the children found themselves in the Physics application laboratory, where they discovered the scientific principle of wind energy and, through a fun activity, built their own small wind turbine, combining the knowledge they gained during their visit to the park with an experiential game.
The new generations close to Renewable Energy
Our trip to the Martino Wind Farm is an approach to how education, technology and the environment can be combined. Through the guidance of experts, we demonstrated how the energy transition can become everyone's business, starting with the new generations.
In this context, we have been implementing the Energy On The Go educational program for 10 years, with the aim of familiarizing children with Renewable Energy Sources and cultivating green consciousness in students of all ages. We also organize visits to our projects throughout Greece, giving children and youth the opportunity to get to know the applications of green energy up close and to be informed about its role in the energy transition. With our initiatives, we are strengthening the foundations of a more responsible, more sustainable future society.
