Plan. Bolt. Understand. Work together. Celebrate together.

Our new image film doesn't need any more words than that. In it, young people build our educational PV system. From the initial design to the moment the electricity flows. This is exactly what hands-on solar education looks like.

Who we are: Solarbildung is a non-profit organization based in Munich. We bring solar energy into schools with learning materials that allow students to generate electricity from the sun themselves, workshops for teachers, and "Youth-led Solar", a program where young people plan and implement a real PV system for their own school. Our materials are manufactured at the Caritas Brucker Werkstatt, a workshop for people with disabilities.

Why it matters: The energy transition is being driven by the generation sitting in classrooms today. For many children, climate change remains abstract and causes anxiety rather than encouragement. But when they experience with their own hands that they can generate energy, something changes. Helplessness turns into empowerment.

The German Commission for UNESCO, together with the Federal Ministry of Education, confirmed that this approach works by honoring us with the National Award for "Education for Sustainable Development" in 2025. We are incredibly proud of this, especially since Solarbildung is backed by a very small team: one full-time position, supported by working students and many volunteers.

A huge thank you to Panda Pictures GmbH for producing the film and to TSV Murnau for opening their grounds to us. And, of course, to the kids and teenagers who put it all together with so much enthusiasm. Without you, this film wouldn't exist.
