Impressions from the New Energy Academy and Masterclass in 2023, 2024, and 2025

Everything was great, lots of new acquaintances, learning and working outside the office, and what especially left an impression on me was the series of new topics and ideas we discovered

Iva Bulajic, New Energy Academy 2025 participant
“Everything was in place, on time, perfectly scheduled and very positive vibe - that was quite impressive.”

Egzona Shala, Executive Director, Youth Ecological and Security Zone- EcoZ
“I’d like to thank ECF for inviting my organization and giving me this incredible opportunity to learn at this Energy Academy despite us being a very new grantee. Personally, I was super energized and motivated to learn, and my curiosity was triggered - so much that I could not stop listening to energy podcasts during the few hours of transit time."

Yifang Slot Tang, Case Work and Research/ Asia Executive Coordination team, FIAN International
“It was a very motivating and inspiring meeting. Open and interesting people, with unique experience and desire to change the world for the better giving great hopes. The world of energy and climate issues (or rather opportunities), increasing the potential and capabilities of civil society after meeting seems to me even more exciting and promising. Thank you for this!”

Anna Mazur, Communications Manager, Ecoclub
