Projekt RENEW (Reinforcing the European Network on Energies and Renewables) je evropska pobuda, sofinancirana v okviru programa CERV – Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values, ki povezuje organizacije in posameznike iz različnih držav EU z namenom spodbujanja razprav o prihodnosti Evrope, trajnostnem razvoju in vlogi državljanov v energetskem prehodu. Projekt želi okrepiti evropsko mrežo, ki se osredotoča na obnovljive vire energije, okoljsko ozaveščenost in aktivno participacijo državljanov pri oblikovanju zelenih politik.
Skozi delavnice, javne dogodke in mednarodna srečanja RENEW ustvarja prostor za medkulturni dialog, izmenjavo dobrih praks in spodbujanje demokratičnega sodelovanja. Poseben poudarek daje vključevanju mladih generacij ter ozaveščanju o skupnih evropskih vrednotah, kot so enakost, solidarnost in varstvo okolja. Cilj projekta je, da bi Evropejci bolje razumeli pomen pravičnega zelenega prehoda in se aktivno vključili v soustvarjanje trajnostne, energetsko neodvisne prihodnosti Evrope.
Prvo srečanje
Prvo mednarodno srečanje projekta RENEW (Reinforcing the European Network on Energies and Renewables) je potekalo od 15. do 19. oktobra 2025 v Jevišovicah na Češkem, v organizaciji partnerja Znojemské Podhorácko. Dogodka so se udeležile delegacije iz Slovenije, Italije, Madžarske, Litve, Malte in Češke, z namenom spodbujanja razprav o obnovljivih virih energije, demokratični participaciji državljanov ter evropskih vrednotah. Srečanje z naslovom “Building a Better Europe: strategies for a hands-on and inclusive participation of citizens at EU level” je v ospredje postavilo aktivno vlogo državljanov – zlasti mladih in žensk – pri zelenem prehodu in uresničevanju evropskega zelenega dogovora ter pobude New European Bauhaus.
Program je združeval terenske obiske, strokovne delavnice, izobraževalne dejavnosti in kulturne izmenjave. Udeleženci so obiskali več občin v regiji Znojemské Podhorácko, kjer so spoznali primere trajnostnih praks in sodelovali na osrednji konferenci “Energy and Energetics”, kjer je vsaka partnerska organizacija predstavila svoje prispevke o vlogi državljanov v energetskem prehodu. Obiskali so tudi mesto Třebíč (vpisano na UNESCO seznam) in jedrsko elektrarno Dukovany, kjer so razpravljali o sobivanju jedrske in obnovljive energije. Dogodek se je zaključil s slovesno večerjo in kulturnim druženjem, ki je utrdilo nova partnerstva in evropsko povezovanje.
Srečanje je doseglo svoje cilje – okrepilo mednarodni dialog, sodelovanje in solidarnost med evropskimi skupnostmi. Izpostavilo je pomen spodbud od spodaj navzgor, vključevanja mladih in žensk v energetski sektor, ter čezmejnega sodelovanja pri prehodu v trajnostno prihodnost. Zbrani rezultati in dobre prakse bodo služili kot izhodišče za nadaljnje aktivnosti v okviru projekta RENEW ter prispevali k skupni evropski viziji zelenega, pravičnega in vključujočega razvoja.

The RENEW (Reinforcing the European Network on Energies and Renewables) project is a European initiative co-funded by the CERV – Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme. It connects organizations and individuals from various EU countries with the aim of promoting discussions about the future of Europe, sustainable development, and citizens’ roles in the green energy transition. The project seeks to strengthen a European network focused on renewable energy, environmental awareness, and active civic participation in shaping green policies.
Through workshops, public events, and international exchanges, RENEW creates a platform for intercultural dialogue, sharing of best practices, and promotion of democratic engagement. It places special emphasis on involving younger generations and raising awareness about common European values such as equality, solidarity, and environmental protection. The project’s ultimate goal is to help Europeans better understand the importance of a fair green transition and to inspire them to take an active part in building a sustainable, energy-independent future for Europe.
First meeting
The first international meeting of the RENEW project took place from 15th to 19th October 2025 in Jevišovice, Czech Republic, bringing together delegations from Slovenia, Italy, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, and the Czech Republic. The event, titled “Building a Better Europe: strategies for a hands-on and inclusive participation of citizens at EU level“, focused on renewable energies, democratic participation, and European values. Participants included local citizens, young people (especially women), and public administrators who exchanged best practices in renewable energy and discussed how local actions contribute to the EU Green Deal, New European Bauhaus, and other European sustainability strategies.
The program combined institutional visits, field trips, and workshops. Delegates explored municipalities in the Znojemské Podhorácko region, visited sustainable small businesses, and took part in a major conference on “Energy and Energetics“, where each partner presented initiatives for citizen involvement in the green transition. They also visited cultural landmarks such as the UNESCO town of Třebíč and the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant, sparking discussions about the coexistence of nuclear and renewable energy. The meeting ended with a farewell dinner and cultural exchange, celebrating new partnerships and shared goals.
Overall, the event successfully fostered dialogue, cooperation, and solidarity among European communities. It highlighted the importance of citizen-driven approaches, youth and gender equality, and cross-border collaboration in achieving a sustainable and inclusive energy transition. The insights gathered will serve as a foundation for future RENEW activities, further strengthening Europe’s collective commitment to a greener, fairer future.
