Do citizens have power when it comes to organizing the energy system? If not, why not? What roles should people have in the energy transition? Have your say with the ENCLUDE survey. Non-European voices are particularly welcome!

The ENCLUDE Academy came to an end in April 2023. We would like to thank all of the participants in the ENCLUDE Academy! Based on viewpoints from Ghana, Madagascar, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, and the UK, we worked with initiatives that were related to biogas, waste to energy & enhancement of weathering for forest landscapes. You can find examples of the work of Academy participants in the posters below.

While the Academy has ended, we will not stop there! We will continue supporting the energy citizenship projects that were developed during the ENCLUDE Academy, helping them to grow and to become successful.
