The first EU webinar is here!
The POWERPOOR trainings of Energy Supporters and Mentors are crossing new borders and going beyond the eight most impacted by energy poverty EU countries.
As of 2022, Housing Europe, ICLEI and the European Crowdfunding Network are mobilising the international community.
Â
Five EU training webinars will be held. The first one is scheduled for the 4th of February 2022 (Friday) from 11:00 to 13:00 CET followed by a little lunch break and continuing from 14:00 to 16:30 CET. The content will be the same in all the webinars and you can join in a following date, but the sooner we start, the more time we have to make a real impact!

In only 4,5 hours, social and affordable housing providers, municipalities, health and social workers, representatives from the academia and anyone who wants to be engaged in tackling the phenomenon can join the free course and learn about what being energy poor actually is, how can we recognise it, and how can we tackle it effectively, leveraging innovative financing schemes and energy communities.
Â
After the online training, which will be held in English, the participants will be called to take a 15 minute test to become a certified POWERPOOR Energy Supporter and Mentor. From this moment on, you will be part of our ever-growing movement joining a community of 400+ POWERPOOR certified Energy Supporters and Mentors, working on the ground, enabling change and mitigating energy poverty in their regions.
