About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

TO APPLY, SEND CV AND MOTIVATION LETTER TO [email protected]. The EKOenergy project focuses on the promotion of renewable energy. We want a world where energy is generated and consumed sustainably. Through our internationally recognised ecolabel, we help consumers switch to 100% renewable energy and we help them communicate about their choice of renewable energy. We are now looking for 1 additional ESC volunteer to join our international team (including 7 other ESC volunteers) for a 1-year project starting in April 2023. The main activities of the project include translation of EKOenergy’s documents, sharing information about renewable energy, contacting energy consumers, supporting EKOenergy's Secretariat, writing articles, looking for cooperation opportunities with other campaigns and organisations... The project is organised by the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation.
