It's your turn to save energy: Join u4energy!

Teachers and students from all over Europe are invited to take part in U4energy, a new, challenging, pan-European competition for primary and secondary schools.

The aim is to encourage them to contribute innovative ideas on reducing energy consumption and to raise awareness on how to use energy more responsibly.

A message from the European Commissioner for Energy, Mr. Günther Oettinger: "This is an exciting competition. I would like to encourage schools to participate and join the European efforts to demonstrate that we can use our energy more efficiently. I believe that teachers and students have an important role to play when it comes to achieving our sustainable energy targets. I am looking forward to hearing from schools demonstrating that saving energy is not only possible, but worthwhile doing in terms of and protecting the environment. This is crucial for us as much as for the generations to come."

The u4energy competition is a unique teaching opportunity for teachers and will be fun for students keen to save energy, money on their fuel bills, and to protect the environment. From September 2010, schools will be encouraged to start submitting their contribution to different competition strands, earning the chance to win a prize and gain recognition at European level.
