Sure, you don’t want to exclude anyone. But let’s be honest, do you know how to include everyone? Learn about some practical approaches to make your energy project more accessible to people with diverse views, backgrounds and experiences – with our brand new Espresso training module.

The more diverse our community-led energy initiatives are, the richer the perspectives and ideas we bring to the table—leading to stronger, more impactful results.

But here’s the catch: many energy communities are still largely driven by the same small group of well-informed and active residents. Involving a broader range of people—tenants, homeowners, young people, migrants of all gender, race, religion — remains a real challenge. That’s where this new Espresso module on Inclusive and Equitable Energy Communities comes in.

This free, self-paced 2-hours course is designed to help you embed inclusivity and intersectionality into your energy projects. We’ve combined theory with practical approaches to inclusion, so you can start applying these insights right away.

Four lessons and four topics you’ll finally feel confident about

New Features You’ll Love:

  • Available in all languages, making it easy for everyone to join.
  • Short exercises and self-reflection questions, no long homework required.
  • More discussion opportunities and a thriving virtual learning community to connect with others.

And for those of you who missed last year’s Espresso course or couldn’t finish the 5 modules—good news! The course is back, and we’ve made it easier to complete your learning journey. You can catch up at your own pace and dive right in on topics like finances, communication or public assets!
