Who we are
The GETA Project (Gaming for the Energy Transition of Rural Areas) is a forward-thinking initiative focused on addressing the critical issue of energy poverty in rural regions across Europe. We are a group of passionate environmentalists, educators, and community leaders who believe that energy transition is not only possible but essential for creating a sustainable future for all.
Backed by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, our project uses interactive e-learning to raise awareness and empower communities with the knowledge and tools they need to implement sustainable energy solutions.
Why Choose Us
Our Mission
At GETA, our mission is to reduce energy poverty by providing practical, scalable solutions that rural communities can adopt. Through education and community empowerment, we aim to bridge the energy gap, helping vulnerable households access cleaner, affordable, and more efficient energy solutions.
Our Vision
We envision a world where energy poverty is eradicated, and all communities, regardless of location or income, have access to affordable, sustainable energy. Our goal is to be a catalyst for change, promoting energy literacy and enabling rural areas to lead the way in the transition to a greener future.
What We Do
The GETA project provides a comprehensive e-learning platform that covers everything from the basics of energy poverty to advanced solutions for energy efficiency and renewable energy production. Our three modules cover:
- Understanding Energy Poverty: What it is, its causes, and its consequences.
- Practical Energy Solutions: A guide to efficient energy use, renewable energy, and insulation.
- Empowering Communities: How local groups can lead the energy transition through innovative financing and community-driven energy solutions.
We not only educate but also work directly with rural communities to implement real-world energy solutions, helping them make lasting changes that improve quality of life and sustainability.
Our Core Values
- Sustainability: We believe in the power of renewable energy and energy efficiency to combat climate change and improve living conditions.
- Empowerment: Our goal is to empower communities to take control of their energy futures through knowledge and collaboration.
- Innovation: We embrace innovative technologies and strategies that make energy solutions accessible to everyone.
- Collaboration: Working together is at the heart of everything we do, whether it’s with local communities, policymakers, or energy experts.
Why Energy Matters
Energy poverty affects millions of people worldwide, making it difficult for families to keep their homes warm in winter or cool in summer. By providing education on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and community empowerment, we help tackle this pressing issue head-on.
Our approach is holistic and inclusive, ensuring that no community is left behind in the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
