This booklet offers basic information about the energy sector, energy sobriety and group facilitation.
It more specifically includes a description of the energy landscape in France, basic information about energy consumption, explanations about the consumption of electronic appliances, and mechanisms to introduce the concept of energy sobriety to other people (including two examples).
The last part is dedicated to group facilitation techniques, which can be very useful to citizens starting community energy groups and collective decision making processes. In this section, you will find techniques to organise ideas and interventions in a meeting, ice breaking activities, brainstorming tips, and a suggested process to facilitate group consensus.
Whether you don’t know where to start from or you are stuck with a specific issue in the development of your energy community, an expert can help you.
