Global Energy Initiative 


Energy issues cross all areas of the curriculum. In social studies, government or science classrooms, energy issues can be used to engage students in real world problem solving and make learning more hands-on and exciting.



Through the Global energy Initiative, the Council helps link energy topics to existing standards and requirements. Programs such as EnergyQuest, a fun fast-paced quiz game and the Student Energy Summit crisis simulation are interactive and fun. These content-rich events expose students to the challenges faced by the energy industry.

The Council will also offer energy related field trips and arrange industry speakers for classroom presentations. The first ever Energy Career Day will take place in 2011. Your students may someday seek jobs in the high-paying energy industry. Adding energy content to your lessons can give your students an advantage in their future job search.

"World Affairs Councils have served our nation by educating our public and stimulating informed debate on the complex issues we face. With the Cold War ended and a new era upon us your role as citizens is even more important. As we seek to meet the challenges of this momentous period of change, I congratulate all of you for this important work."
