As a part of the implementation of project I.N.G.R.I.D. – Development of Energy Efficiency Sustainable Network of Cities and Municipalities in Cross -Border Area, series of trainings for different groups of stakeholders from the Municipality of Krnjak, the Lead partner of the project, was held in June and July.
The half-day training for schoolteachers and professors titled “Energy transition begins with the first steps” has introduced participants to energy needs, principles and measures of energy efficiency, the potential of renewable energy sources and the behavior of building users in that context.
