WIND POWER WORKSHOPS

Sundance held a wind power workshop to help young people learn about renewable energy and how to build a small wind turbine, enabling us to bring alive the concept of wind power. The workshop gave a group of young people the opportunity to understand electricity generation and how this could be achieved without polluting our environment. It inspired some of the young people to think how energy is generated, the implications for the environment and how perhaps they might work to contribute to a sustainable future. By learning new skills and participating in building elements of a small wind turbine, these young people achieved something meaningful, which they will always remember. Also, as a pilot project, the wind power workshop has demonstrated that it is a worthwhile course and may be replicated for other interested groups.

We hope to be able to provide similar workshops in the future, and would like to thank Enfys for it's support in funding this project.  We would also like to thank Environment Wales and Huw Thomas, the senior Youth Officer in Llanelli, for their help and co-operation.
