Philippines: New Group Aims to Stimulate Awareness, Dialogue and Exchange of Ideas for Renewable Energy in Negros Oriental

GeoSkwela: Engaging the youth for a greener energy future (Sun.Star)

GeoSkwela is one such opportunity especially geared toward Negrense students. It is a pioneering event organized by geothermal leader Energy Development Corporation (EDC) to bring them closer to experts, academicians and inspirational figures who share in the advocacy of cleaner energy and sustainability.

It aims to continuously stimulate awareness, dialogue and exchange of ideas on this topic in line with Negros Oriental’s commitment to cleaner energy sources, primarily geothermal.

These individuals serve as mentors whose life and career experiences prove that sustainability is not only feasible or possible, but a way of life that is truly rewarding—not just for one’s self, but for others and the entire community.

The maiden GeoSkwela event was held at Silliman University on March 7, in support of the first-ever Renewable Energy Day on March 5 as declared in an Executive Order No. 22-18 by Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Ragay Degamo.
