A three-year study on the effectiveness of face-to-face versus online storytelling for solar PV outreach

Outreach coupled with storytelling, play a crucial role in introducing the solar industry to students, and potentially inspire them to pursue a career in the industry. The outreach was conducted across 3 years to students aged 12. Results showed that attitudes towards climate change, solar energy, and career aspirations in the solar industry were positively influenced with storytelling for both face-to-face and online, with the face-to-face outreach environment being more effective. The results of this 3year study could help inform future outreach activities to incorporate storytelling to positively influence students’ career aspirations in the field of solar PV.
