This blog was written for Community Energy Fortnight 2020 by the CEE team.
During lockdown, the Community Energy England team made a video using their phones to set a challenge for other community energy organisations to do similar as part of Community Energy Fortnight 2020 (13-29 June). You can check it out here for all things Community Energy Fortnight and use it as inspiration for creating your own videos. Or maybe even to give a moment of light relief! You will hear from everyone at the CEE team including our new intern, Lee Towers.
We don't need fancy equipment to use video to talk about the amazing work happening in communities across the UK and beyond. This year's Community Energy Fortnight theme is exploring how to #HarnessOurPower, in order to grow our resilience during this crisis and build back better. Community energy has a natural role in a just recovery and just transition, and Community Energy Fortnight will be a time to start conversations on how to #HarnessOurPower for a better future surging forwards to 2030.
Use our handy how to create a video guide, it has the practical information you need and also some prompt questions to help shape your video. We can't wait to see what you come up with! Share it on social media, add #HarnessOurPower and #CEF2020.
