Russian initiative on energy efficiency and ecology #TogetherBrighter was supported in Kyrgyzstan
From August 14 to August 24, 2019, the International Festival on Energy Efficiency and Ecology was held in Kyrgyzstan in support of the Russian initiative #VmesteYarche. The festival was dedicated to the issues of climate change, energy efficiency, environmental and energy security. More than 200 children aged 9-16 took part in thematic lessons and quizzes on energy-efficient technologies, met with energy professionals and visited energy companies.
Five most active participants of the festival were granted with vouchers to the School of Young Power Engineers, which will be held from October 20 to November 2, 2019 at the All-Russian Children's Center "Smena" on the Black Sea (Krasnodar Region, Russia).
International Festival #TogetherBrighter was held in Russia since 2016. In 2018, it became an international festival and took place in Kazakhstan, and then handed over to Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. The festival is a pilot project to teach children the basics of energy efficiency and ecology as part of the transfer of the Russian experience to Kyrgyzstan and will be continued in the other camps of the country.
