Fundación Cepsa adds more than 3,100 students to the Energy Campus in Andalusia

• A total of 60 schools in the provinces of Cadiz and Huelva are participating in the current edition of this training program in the energy sector
• COVID-19 has required virtual or face-to-face sessions in the classrooms in this eighteenth edition, avoiding, for the moment, the visit to the Cepsa energy centers in Huelva and Campo de Gibraltar
• Colegio Los Pinos de Algeciras (Cádiz) and IES Alonso Sánchez de Huelva start the program in this edition

Fundación Cepsa has started, for another year, its educational program Energy Campus on the energy sector in Andalusia, a learning program that mixes the digital field with the classroom, designed 18 years ago by Andalusian teachers to familiarize students and teachers of 2nd cycle of ESO, Bachillerato and Formative Module with the world of energy, safety, sustainability, and the ecological transition in a streamlined and enjoyable way. This year 3,119 students from the provinces of Cadiz, Huelva, and Malaga and 83 teachers from 60 schools have registered.

The initiative has maintained the modifications made in 2021 required by the COVID-19 pandemic. The visit to the industrial centers has therefore been suspended for health safety reasons and virtual or face-to-face sessions will be held at the educational centers until it is possible to resume them. In this edition of the Energy Campus, these sessions on the energy sector began at the Los Pinos School in Algeciras, Cadiz, and the IES Alonso Sanchez in Huelva.

The objective of this educational program by Fundación Cepsa is to show students the evolution of energy throughout the history of mankind, and to connect with the Cepsa value chain. Fundación Cepsa teaches the importance of oil and its derivatives today, emphasizing the products of Cepsa's industrial centers and their multiple applications in daily life. They highlight issues such as Cepsa's vision as a global energy company, its commitment, and responsibility to the environment and the safety of people, facilities, and nearby population centers.

The Energy Campus also addresses Cepsa's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) and has a special chapter dedicated to the company's responsibility to its professionals, work-life balance, and diversity and inclusion.

At the end of the training program, students are invited to participate in a competition, individually and collectively, with projects related to the aspects of the energy sector addressed during the Energy Campus. A jury comprising leading professionals in the field of education in Huelva and Cadiz chooses the winners of the contest.

The Energy Campus is a training initiative that has benefited around 30,138 Andalusian students since its inception.
