Futurum learning resource for schools and colleges

December 9, 2021

In collaboration with Futurum Careers, PIRI has developed a new teaching resource for 14 to 19-year-olds (secondary, high schools, and college) that endeavours to engage young people in the need for decarbonising energy supply as well as the concept and role of integrated renewable energy projects (like PIRI) in a low or zero carbon future. Included is an article and accompanying activity sheet that can be used in the classroom, STEM club, or at home. This resource contains an interview with people involved in PIRI and allows students to submit questions to them. The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ to prompt students to reflect on PIRI, and challenges them to devise their own sustainable development project.
