This year, 24 university students and young professionals from Nepal, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Malaysia and Cambodia attended the 7-day training programme in the AIT campus. They developed innovative project ideas that bring solutions to their communities. A series of online seminars and offline workshops were conducted by climate change and energy experts and scholars from Europe and Asia-Pacific. Participants learned about a wide range of energy-related issues such as access to energy, renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy security, electricity market development, investment and etc.

In addition to the theoretical parts, trainers shared their practical experience in engaging local communities in clean energy initiatives. Participants got familiar with how various types of solar systems technically function. They were guided to design and build solar power applications including box ovens, parabolic ovens, dryers, sound systems, charging stations, power banks and water pumps with recycle materials. The final products were used in local farms and university campus.
