Energy poverty in the rural Western Balkans has been a persistent challenge, with barriers such as low awareness, lack of education, and limited access to energy efficiency programmes. Through Project GETA (Gaming for Energy Transition of Rural Areas), we aimed to address these issues by empowering youth workers to become energy advisors and equipping them to guide rural youth toward a smarter energy future.

Over the course of the project, we developed tools, introduced innovative training schemes, and laid the groundwork for a sustainable energy transition in rural areas.

Watch the retrospective video below to revisit our journey and celebrate the impact of Project GETA! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this incredible mission.

While the project may be complete, its legacy lives on in the empowered youth and communities now embracing sustainable energy practices.

Project GETA (2023-2024) is supported by the EU Erasmus+ Programme (ERASMUS) and implemented by the Consortium of the organisations:
