Training | Forum for Local Action on Energy Efficient Behaviour

In our forum we have prepared an offer of energy shakes and milkshake workshops specifically tailored to tackle the challenges and meet the needs of national, regional, and local authorities, as well as other stakeholders actively engaged in designing and implementing initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of energy-efficient behaviours.

Our menu offers tools and guidance to deepen your knowledge and help you in the implementation of projects and activities at EU and national levels. You will be able to participate in one or more of the three strands depending on your needs and the skills you want to develop!

Make and shake with the in-depth training

The in-depth training is for experts who work in local and national authorities and energy agencies across the EU and for networks who work closely with them. Are you one of them? This training will help you gain knowledge on the concepts of energy efficiency and behavioural change and strengthen your expertise. You will be able to make your own pilot project and discuss it with peers and other experts. There will be four modules to help you become a milkshake expert!

Introduction webinar about the course and the learning groups
A practical masterclass to kick off the energy efficiency milkshake creation
A peer-learning session to present your pilot activity
An in-person retreat to work with the learning groups and enhance your pilot activity as well as inspiring site visits
A peer-learning session to discuss the progress of the pilot activities and share the final shake with experts and the rest of participants

The next cohort of the In-Depth Training will start in Spring 2026.
