“The future of next generation is the future of sustainable energy. The actions of young people, for young people raising awareness, offering and developing solutions addressing the problems of comprehensive energy management starting with gaining the energy from renewable resources, via affordability of energy, efficiency of use of energy up to changes in behavior of people and change in customer-provider models in energy sectors is highly welcomed.”

“PED workshop 2022 in Bratislava/Trencin was an invaluable opportunity to go far beyond pure technological/environmental dimension of sustainable energy utilisation. Creative working in groups enabled to shed light onto subtle and delicate processes running in the communities, analyse beharioral patterns, human attitudes and social practices reflected in every human activity related to positive energy policies and management.”

“The International PED workshop provided much needed information about currently highly debated topic of energy transition to the variety of students from different countries that, hopefully, broaden their understanding of the topic and enriched their regular curriculum. The social aspect of such event brought deeper understanding between students and staff of different universities as well as guided the students to engage the public and other stakeholders. I believe that organising of such workshops would become an integral part of spatial planning education.”

- “I enjoyed the workshop. I loved the opportunity of meeting new people and working in teams with students from other schools in Europe on this interesting project.”
- “I enjoyed this workshop not only for meeting interesting people and seeing their point of view, but for making me step out of my comfort zone in the context of speaking English on a daily basis.”
- “Participating in the PED workshop significantly broadened my worldview and my international network. I gained valuable insights into renewable energy technologies, policy frameworks, and global challenges. Witnessing real-world implementation and understanding the interconnectedness of energy transition with other critical issues inspired me to actively contribute to a sustainable future.”
