Wenzhou, Zhejiang: Electricity Safety Classes Help Safeguard Children’s Growth

On October 17, young volunteers from State Grid Wenzhou Power Supply Company visited the Second Primary School of Kunyang Town in Wenzhou, serving as “electricity teachers” to deliver an engaging electricity safety class. They turned professional knowledge on electrical safety into a practical “Campus Safety Guide” for students.

“Can you pick up a fallen power line with your hands?” “Can you touch electrical appliances with wet hands?” During the class, volunteers performed a short situational play, portraying roles such as “coal,” “power station,” “high- and low-voltage power,” and “transformer,” to demonstrate the full journey of electricity—from production to transmission.

They also conducted interactive Q&A sessions, explaining the principles of electricity generation, understanding various electrical phenomena in daily life, types of electrical hazards, and preventive measures. Students eagerly participated, taking note of every safety point. “I used to just know we shouldn’t touch sockets randomly, but today I finally understand why!” said a student surnamed Liao excitedly. “The electricity teachers provided explanations that were more vivid and direct than those in textbooks, helping us truly grasp how to use electricity safely.”

This activity was part of the Electricity Supervisor Program implemented by State Grid Wenzhou Power Supply Company. The program focuses on the challenges of electricity safety and energy-saving education for children aged 3 to 12. It is based at the Wenzhou Electricity Safety Science Education Base, and promotes awareness through initiatives such as “Little Electricity Experts” training camps, the “Action Handbook”, the “Supervisor” certification, and the “Green Energy Bank.”

So far, the program has organized 118 electricity safety classes, benefiting more than 2,000 children.

State Grid Wenzhou Power Supply Company will continue to deepen and expand the Electricity Supervisor Program, constantly innovating the forms and content of children’s safety education to inspire more young people to take part in green and low-carbon actions.
