Goal 4 – Quality education

In September and October 2023, educational sessions led by a nature expert took place in five elementary schools on Polenergia Group’s initiative. The focal theme of this year’s edition was “Protecting Biodiversity – Cavity-Nesting Birds,” directing attention to a crucial aspect of ecosystems. Teaching methods were tailored to the participants’ age, creating an interactive and engaging educational space.

Activities for climate education are part of the Polenergia Group’s Sustainable Development Strategy. We take all environmental activities very seriously, including those carried out as part of school or pre-school education. That is why we are committed to support those educational institutions that operate in communities where Polenergia projects are located and engage in our ‘Green Game’ project. In line with this commitment, we have partnered with the General Education Lyceum No 1 in Nowa Sarzyna to take patronage over their Hydrogen Technology Class.

High school student, college student, PhD student! Together with the University of Gdańsk, we have a unique opportunity for you to express your passion and share it with others! We invite all high school students, students, and PhD students to participate in the third edition of the “My Studies for the Planet” competition under the slogan “The invigorating element of wind and sea” organized by the Faculty of Philology of the University of Gdańsk.

In recent years, sustainability has been gaining more and more attention around the world. Developing societies are looking for increasingly ecological ways of obtaining energy to reduce the negative impact on the natural environment.

The first edition of the educational project Play Green with Us! has ended. From September 2022 to June 2023, over 70 educational institutions took action in support of climate and environmental protection by implementing environmental scenarios.

The aim of the competition was to raise awareness among children about the potential of renewable energy sources. The level of the competition entries was very high, in terms of both content and art.

As part of the “Graj z nami w zielone!” initiative, a series of 12 nature lessons were conducted to familiarize children with the importance of biodiversity conservation. The classes took place in the vicinity of the Polenergia Wind Farms in Kostomłoty and Dębsk.

On June 1, 2023, on the occasion of Children’s Day, we announced the competition “Nature as the energy of the future”! The aim of the Competition is to make children aware of the advantages of using renewable energy sources, such as sun, wind, water, in the production of devices.

In 2023, World Environment Day celebrates its 50th anniversary. Since 1973, this day has been organized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and observed annually on June 5th, becoming one of the largest global platforms for environmental protection, engaging millions of people worldwide in the conservation of our planet.

Climate action is the number one topic today. Polenergia is aware of that and strives to be active in this area wherever its assets are located or wherever new projects are to be developed.

On May 20th, we celebrated World Bee Day. It was an excellent opportunity to talk to children about the importance of bees and other insects for the natural environment and economy, as well as to promote ecological attitudes.

Polenergia supports nature conservation efforts and actively engages in increasing its employees knowledge about the importance of biodiversity conservation.

The educational project of Polenergia, UNEP/GRID-Warszawa and the Kulczyk Foundation Play Green with Us!^®, which started in the spring of 2022, is being implemented in almost 70 educational institutions wherever the Group’s facilities are present.

This spring, we set out on a journey to the Polish preschools and primary schools with our Play green with us!^® project. What was our purpose? Together with the educational facilities located at the territories covered by the green investments of the Polenergia Group we want to raise awareness in the areas of ecology, climate protection and environment.

This is the eleventh edition of one of the most popular programs of the Lesław A. Paga Foundation, which helps in the development of talented students and graduates who not only want to develop in the energy industry, but also understand that business is based on good relations and commitment.

The Polenergia Group joins the UN Global Compact Network Poland initiative and puts its signature under the call for implementing the comprehensive and reliable education on climate change to schools as soon as possible.
