REthinking Energy Video Series

A short video series to help everyone understand the energy landscape and sustainable energy conversation in Trinidad & Tobago in a greater way, in less than 15 minutes.

In partnership with the National Gas Company of T&T, and with support from others such as the Energy Chamber, European Union and German Embassy, IAMovement led the production of a 3-part infographic video series in 2018 called “REthinking Energy”. REthinking Energy was therefore produced with key leading national players in the energy space of Trinidad & Tobago, with the goal of introducing important knowledge to the wider population on T&T’s energy history, the present-day energy situation, and opportunities for a more sustainable energy future.

The scripts were co-written by renewable energy specialist Siana Teelucksingh and IAMovement co-founder Jonathan Barcant, with critical review, inputs and data contributions from the NGC and Energy Chamber of T&T – and through this, REthinking Energy helped to communicate the energy realities of T&T on a technical level and with a high degree of accuracy, but in a way which was digestible and understandable to all.

Based on observations of public knowledge, and feedback from various key stakeholders and multiple individuals within the energy space of T&T, it is recognized that the REthinking Energy video series played a critical role in raising broader public awareness and collective group awareness within the energy space about many of the important matters pertaining uniquely to Trinidad & Tobago, which were explored and covered in the series. Direct feedback has also suggested that the series helped to shift the needle in political and private stakeholder will in the positive direction, to support actual commitments to projects and programmes which were subsequently made – to support a T&T with greater levels of energy sustainability.

If you feel inspired or excited by the information you learn in the REthinking Energy videos – then let a friend, colleague, family member or your boss know about them. Share the video series with them, along with what you’ve learned, and help to spread the message.

We believe that education is for everyone, and knowledge is power. As a people, we can’t ask for something if we don’t know about it. IAMovement’s goal through the REthinking Energy video series, is to help everyone to know!
