It’s easier to learn when you are young. That is why our heroes, Evy and Encho, teach their young students all about energy efficiency.

We began Evy and Encho's Class – Lessons in Energy and Ecology – back in 2009, and it has been implemented for 15 years in a row. This initiative is aimed at pupils in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. Since the programme’s start until the academic year 2023/24, a total of more than 45,800 students have completed the training on the wise and safe use of energy. Yearly, some 10,000 students and 500 teachers work under the programme. In the academic year 2023/24, partners of EVN Bulgaria for the energy classes are 48 schools in 29 settlements (villages and towns). The programme takes place on EVN Bulgaria’s licence territory. As part of the initiative, we provide partner schools with information materials that explain energy efficiency and the safe use of electrical appliances in the home in a way accessible to children.
OBJECTIVES Our main goal in this programme is to develop green thinking in children – a responsible attitude to the Earth’s resources; sensible and safe use of energy at school and at home. Through the books we have developed, we are aiming to enrich the teaching curriculum with information for children and their families, which is not only useful, but also presented in a fun and innovative way.

The entertaining energy and ecology classes take place over four class hours. We at EVN Bulgaria provide students and their teachers with textbooks and teaching materials approved by the Ministry of Education free of charge. At the end of each school year, we give the children the opportunity to show their attitude to nature conservation and what they have learned in Evy and Encho's Class by organising age-appropriate competitions on topics related to the sensible use of energy.
The firefly Evy and the rabbit Encho are friends of the children who accompany them in the lessons and games. Evy knows a lot about energy and she can always give useful advice. Encho is curious and is happy to learn new things that can improve the comfort and safety of his home.
The project materials have been developed as topics for 5 lessons in three modules (for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades). EVN Bulgaria recommends that they take place within the "Class Hour". At the teacher's opinion, the materials can also be used as supporting activities in the subjects Environment, Man and Nature, Technology and Entrepreneurship, activities from the whole day organization of the school day. Information materials in the form of booklets, didactic materials, useful gifts have been developed for each module. Lesson materials are provided free of charge by EVN and each student and teacher receive their own individual set.
Within the framework of the project, extracurricular activities are offered, a kind of competitions in which the children show everything they have learned so far and create. All participants receive motivating prizes, and for the winners, EVN Bulgaria gives the school the opportunity to choose a prize corresponding to its needs (e.g. a sports field, construction of an ecocottage, interactive touch-screen board with specialized educational software).
At the invitation of schools – regardless of whether they participate in the program or not – employees from EVN Bulgaria also conduct a class visit, telling the children about the profession of an electrician, about the path of electricity, about ways to save energy, etc.
