Activity elected at the Nuit de l’Événementiel Paris 2024.
Just under 10% of the world’s population lives without electricity (source: worldbank.org). This situation has a devastating effect on children’s education, damages families’ health and financial economics and harms the environment we all share.
The Hour of Power raises awareness of the problems caused by energy poverty and provides an innovative and sustainable solution to improve the lives of children living without electricity in developing countries. These children will be able to receive a solar-powered lamp supplied by the Solar Buddy association thanks to the participants who will have assembled it during the activity. With these solar-powered lamps, the children will be able to study after nightfall and avoid using paraffin lamps, which are expensive and a source of accidents.
This meaningful team-building activity is ideal for bringing your teams together around an enriching experience and highlighting your company’s values. As well as assembling the solar lamps, participants can write a letter dedicated to the receptient child, delivered to his/her school by the Solar Buddy association. This CSR activity, which focuses on corporate social responsibility, is unique of its kind and has a real and significant social impact.
The assembly and writing workshop can be followed by a quiz on the challenges of energy poverty, then a team brainstorming session with a feedback session to suggest environmental and societal actions within the company (as an option). It’s an activity you’ll be hearing about for a long time and it will be a great way to get your company thinking about CSR!
