With the “Energetic Schools Social Responsibility Project“, the first phase of which was realized by Çalık Enerji with solar power plants installed in the gardens of two vocational and technical education high schools in Amasya in 2021 and Malatya in 2022, it was possible for schools to produce their own energy and to increase students’ awareness of renewable energy and sustainability. .

Sustainability training was given to high school students

After the first phase of the Project, which supports schools to produce their own energy, Çalık Enerji implemented the Energetic Schools Phase II Project for the second phase, with the cooperation of Mitsubishi Corporation and the Sustainability Steps Association, with the support of the fund received from the Tokyo-based corporate social responsibility budget of Mitsubishi Corporation. As part of the Energetic Schools Phase II Project, more than 1,000 vocational high school students were provided with training on sustainability, climate change, renewable energy and technology in Amasya, Malatya and Samsun.

In addition, within the scope of the Energetic Schools Phase II Project, vocational and technical education high school students were taken to the universities in the cities they were in, so that they could see the university environment and visit the departments they were interested in.

On the second day of the projects carried out in Amasya, Malatya and Samsun, vocational high school students and their teachers held special workshops called “Solutions Workshop”. Within the scope of the study, the participants identified a local problem in the regions or cities they live in under the titles of sustainability, climate change, renewable energy and technology and produced suggestions and ideas for the solution of this problem.

The project will be transferred to the digital environment and will be accessible to more students.
