PROJECT INTRODUCTION Green Power Now was founded in 2008, aimed at providing global view for youth and raising their awareness about energy issues in China through AIESEC international exchange platform, by cooperating with schools, corporates, NGOs and bringing in international volunteers to offer courses related to green power and help the students become future leaders in Green field with strong social responsibility. The program aims to educate the future generation about the environment and empower them to become environmental and social leaders of their community. Green Power Now is one of the most impactful national project in AIESEC Mainland of China. In 2013-2014, we impacted 11 cities,14 LCs, 160 trainees, more than 100 high schools by providing green courses and campus green activities. What’s more, for the past several years we have involved Garnier, Disney, Momentum as Corporate Social Responsibility Partner, cooperated with Marinedream Foundation, Greennovate as national learning partner and organized annual Green Leadership Forum as the closing for the project for greater social impact and youth engagement.
PROJECT IMPACT MODEL Green Power Now is designed according to a sustainable and smart project business model to make sure its impact will last from generation to generation. AIESEC raised schools to the project, who received 6-week green project courses while these high school students are the potential future AIESECers. The international trainees are trained as school facilitators by national NGO partner for better professional knowledge on sustainability, and they will work as a group to co-create environmental protection courses to spread out issue based knowledge on sustainability. CSR partners sponsored the project and attended project events as judges or speakers, while AIESEC provided them with a CSR solution to establish better corporate branding and bigger social impact.
“Green Power Now is my most proud of experience in AIESEC.In2010-2011,AIESEC HUST Green Power Project Team,together with 15 chinese volunteers and 14 international interns,Give 80 sessions about sustainability and environment protection for more than 2500 students from 20 different schools in Wuhan and Nanchang.we hled a wonderful actionand made some differences for our society.“Green Power Now，Yes，we can”, As our slogan of the expression, We believe that we as the future leaders of this society should dare to dream about a sustainable future by taking our own actions to protect it.” --Collice Ding Organization Committee President Of Green Power Now 10/11 AIESEC HUST in Wuhan
“I think what this project really provided is a period of experience. Before I participated in the project team, I already knew some knowledge of environmental protection and energy saving, but why? Why should we take action since it’s so troublesome to turn off the light every time I left the room or pick the environmental friendly products? The trainers from AIESEC and Disney really inspired me and my classmate to take the first step trying to make some impact towards a sustainable future and helped me to recognize that doing a green project can be so much fun and exciting!” --Xianqi Zeng Student pati Southwest Weiyu High School Shanghai
