Project description
Supporting the deployment of renewable energy
The use of renewable energy sources (RES) in Europe is steadily increasing. The Renewable Energy Directive means that the EU is committed to achieving a share of 32 % of RES in gross final energy consumption by 2030. In this context, the EU-funded SKILL BILL project will develop a large and strong foundation for the growth and acceleration of RES deployment. Specifically, it will create several pathways to motivate target groups to become interested and involved in RES, beyond the initial level of education and working position: knowledge should be diffused to reach a more social and inclusive Europe. Besides developing instruments for upskilling and reskilling, SKILL BILL aims to tackle fake news on RES owed to low-quality information material, the gender gap and functional illiteracy.
Objective
SKILLBILL’s overall objective is to develop a large and strong foundation for the growth and acceleration of renewable energy’s deployment, thanks to engaging with stakeholders of the whole chain, diffusing scientific culture and skilling multi-level workers.
The basic idea underling the project is that the knowledge should be diffused at several different levels and qualitatively appropriate both to train the adequate number of workers and to increase RES awareness and to reach a more social and inclusive Europe
The project aims at creating several pathways to induce target groups to get interested or involved in RES besides their initial level of education and their working position: the technological RES potential can be reached by increasing hard and soft skills of potential users and stakeholders, developing interest in the topic and having clear and appropriate approaches, such as tools and learning modules using suitable language. It’s important, beside the creation of instruments for the upskilling and reskilling of workers, technician and designers, to have awareness modules for unspecific public in order to fight against ignorance, fake news, gender gap and the phenomenon of functional illiteracy: it is widely documented that lifelong suitable learning process is the fundamental driver to support the development, maintenance and update of skills.
SKILLBILL proposes concrete actions to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy at different levels:
1. Stakeholder community engagement
2. Knowledge sharing and peer learning
3. Skilling, upskilling, reskilling
SKILLBILL will i) analyse and involve all the interested parts in open discussion using adequate language; ii) create several different pathways to increase skills after having mapped knowledge gap and without gender prejudice; iii) develop and implement innovative learning method; vi) evaluate the work performed.
