Goodwe Australia launches new “EcoSmart Kids” roadshow education program, promoting positive messages about climate change and renewable energy

GoodWe, a world-leading manufacturer of Solar products, and one of the top solar brands in Australia, has announced the launch of a new education initiative called “EcoSmart Kids”, to deliver a series of roadshow events across Victoria to inform and inspire children about climate change, renewable energy and positive environmental messages, using their smart innovation vehicle as a delivery mechanism. This initiative builds upon GoodWe’s ongoing EcoSmart Tour project, as the company tours the world to connect with diverse audiences seeking knowledge and advantages in renewable energy solutions.

EcoSmart Kids comprises of a series of interactive animated workshops that has been written and created by GoodWe Australia, approved by education professionals and aimed at primary school children. Content will identify what climate change is, ways of helping the environment and how solar and other renewable energy sources work. The GoodWe Australia team, equipped with Working With Children permits, will visit many schools across Victoria to deliver the program inside the GoodWe smart innovation vehicle – the custom-made roadshow truck launched in 2022.

Following the school visits, all participating children will be able to take part in a State-wide competition, to create something that promotes a positive environmental message that leaves the medium completely open to their own talents and passions, from art, to creative writing, to music and more. Winners and prizes will then be awarded for each school, with the 1st place winner from each school moving on to a “championship” awards event, which will be held at the August Melbourne Home Show, with trophies and finalist prizes to be presented in front of attending schools, media and VIP guests.

Dean Williamson, GoodWe Country Manager commented:

“We take pride in thinking outside the box and trying to be a pioneer in the renewables industry.  Following the launch of our Smart Innovation Vehicle in 2022, we have been able to complete dozens of industry and Home Show consumer events across Australia in a very short space of time. We saw a unique opportunity with the roadshow vehicle to utilise it to reach a new audience in a fun and informative way that we hope will be very rewarding for everyone participating. We are also very thankful for the collaboration and support from the fantastic team at Exhibitions and Events Australia who run the Home Show events around Australia, their expertise will help us to give the program a fitting platform and celebration for all involved.

The EcoSmart Kids program is something we are very proud of, and we look forward to seeing what young creative minds will deliver in the competition. Through our trial visits, we were amazed by the knowledge and insight the children had, and their energy and enthusiasm certainly has us excited!  The hope is that long term, we can deliver EcoSmart Kids across Australia and even tailored to other regions around the world for GoodWe teams overseas.”

The EcoSmart Kids awards event is scheduled to take place on Friday 25th August at the Melbourne Home Show, with digital exhibits of the competition and tour highlights on show to the public over the 3 day event. For tickets, please visit www.melbournehomeshow.com.au
