The results of the Power Shifts fund 2019 have been announced. Out of 19 competitive applications 5 favourites were chosen to receive support for the innovative energy-related activities for the events taking place in 2019.

Power Shifts project cycle goes forward! This time energy was discussed as one of the topics during a session in Villach, hosted by the European Youth Parliament Austra in mid-January 2019.  Around 40 participants from the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Albania, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Serbia, France, Ukraine, Austria, and Germany discussed the pressing challenges of today under the motto: “Modernisation ahead – can technology power our society?”.

The energy-focused committee (ITRE) discussed the question of how the EU can provide its citizens with affordable, clean energy and technologically advanced energy production methods while ensuring energy security across all European borders.

Last week it was really “hot” in Thessaloniki as the 38th National Selection Conderence of EYP Greece supported from the Power Shifts Fund 2018 took place. Around 200 participants from all around the country had a chance to discuss energy related and environmental topics under the frame of the session’s overall motto: “Contemporary education in an ever – changing world; Rethinking the approach of modern education systems in a rapidly progressing society”.

We had a chance to talk to one of the Head Organisers of the session, Elisavet Sidiropoulou who shared with us her impressions as well as her opinion on the future of Europe’s energy.
