23 Juin B1-AKT for Social Innovation – To Tackle Fuel Poverty

Posted at 19:16h in Conférences, Entrepreneurship, Europe, Global Sustainable Leaders, Prospective, Réflexion, Research

 « B1-AKT is  Joining Ashoka, Schneider Electric Foundation and Enel for Social Innovation »

Fuel poverty has become a major problem in Europe. There are between 50 and 125 million people who struggle every day to ensure adequate heating, light, and cooking power in their dwelling at an affordable price (European Parliamentary Research Service). This has a severe impact on their health and wellbeing. Creative and systems-changing solutions are needed to transform this issue in an opportunity for these people to thrive.

After a successful partnership in 2015-2016, the Schneider Electric Foundation, under the aegis of the Fondation de France, and Ashoka, have renewed their commitment to helping improve the living conditions of millions of people facing fuel poverty in Europe.

It is by offering support to the most innovative social entrepreneurs in Europe that we can help entire communities tackle fuel poverty and move towards energy sustainability. The 2017-2018 edition is realised in partnership with Enel and B1-AKT .

CUBE. Your Take on Europe aims at educating, engaging and empowering young people across Europe to envisage the future they want to live in. CUBE gathers diverse opinions across the European Union and reinvigorates European civil society by amplifying these untold stories in Brussels. CUBE facilitates this process in three steps: it provides a workshop toolkit for teachers, creates a digital platform for European youth organisations, and aspires to become a European youth lobby.

Toolkit: CUBE provides a digital workshop toolkit on its website containing educational material triggering critical reflection on the future of the European Union:

The Toolkit is yours! The toolkit can be downloaded by teachers and facilitators. The workshops take place in your local school, ensuring that all youngsters can participate, regardless of their background. Within the familiarity of classrooms, individual counter-narratives can be shared while critical thinking is being fostered.
