SolarBuddy is a hands on team building experience that combines learning, collaboration and practical action. Participants are introduced to the issue of energy poverty and the impact that limited access to safe, reliable electricity can have on education, health, safety and everyday life.
Working together, teams assemble solar powered devices that will go on to support children and communities living in energy poverty. The activity creates a strong shared sense of purpose, while encouraging teamwork, communication and engagement around global sustainability and social impact.
