College of the Atlantic and Samsø Energy Academy have joined forces to offer a 5-day workshop (May 30 - June 3, 2016) ( www.coa.edu/samsoworkshop) at the Samsø Energy Academy on Samsø Island, Denmark for government, education, and community leaders. In this workshop participants will learn first-hand how the Samsø transformation created opportunities for both individuals and businesses. We will explore how the successes of Samsø can be translated to a U.S. context given the social, economic and political differences.
In 2007 Samsø Island, Denmark became a carbon-negative island producing more renewable energy than they consume. This 10-year effort, led by Søren Hermansen, maximized community engagement and economic rejuvenation. Through the Island’s renewable energy efforts, Samsø was able to reinvent itself, bring jobs and energy tourism to the island, and become a world leader in community energy strategies.
In this workshop, participants will see first-hand how the transformation created opportunities for both individuals and businesses. We will explore how the successes of Samsø can be translated to a U.S. context given the social, economic and political differences.
