Digital Energy for Everyone | Energy Communities & Energy Literacy

This webinar examines how to effectively inform and engage citizens in energy communities, focusing on approaches that make communication accessible, engaging and inclusive. Building on insights from the Every1 project, the session explores how energy communities introduce information in ways that resonate with diverse audiences, how they attract new members, and how they maintain meaningful involvement among those already engaged. Through practical examples and community‑driven experiences, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how trust, clarity and energy literacy contribute to stronger, more resilient energy communities.

The discussion highlights methods and tools used across Europe to communicate with citizens, addressing differences in needs, expectations and levels of knowledge. Speakers will outline strategies for supporting active participation, reducing barriers related to inequality or digital access, and strengthening the long‑term relationship between citizens and their energy communities. Bringing together research insights and real‑world practice, this session offers valuable guidance for anyone working to build more informed, confident and collaborative communities within the energy transition.

Who should attend?

• City officials, energy agencies and local policymakers working on digital energy strategies and sustainability
• Representatives from energy communities, living labs and organisations addressing inequality, diversity or energy poverty
• Citizens and stakeholders interested in energy literacy, self‑sufficiency and community collaboration
• Every1 project partners, ecosystem members and practitioners seeking best‑practice approaches for citizen engagement
  

As part of the Digital Energy for Everyone series, the webinar complements the sessions on SME energy flexibility and knowledge gaps in the digital energy transition, and also introduces participants to resources within the Every1 Knowledge Hub, supporting continued learning and engagement.
