Forum on Renewable Energy |
 |
 |
 |
|
Was held Tuesday, April 27, at the headquarters of the Mountain Community, the second meeting of the Forum on community projects EGS - Energy Education Governance and Sustainable Schools Now, both financed by the EU under the "Intelligent Energy".
The two projects are dedicated to local sustainable energy: EGS is targeted at high schools in the area and has the objective of a tangible energy savings through greater dissemination of knowledge and best practices and implementation of targeted projects. The “Sustainable now” project foresees the establishment instead of an energy plan local action to reduce consumption in the municipalities involved.
The first meeting of the Forum was attended by public officials, representatives of associations, environmental groups, schools, private companies and on that occasion was made an analysis of energy problems of the territory and Schools.
Based on the results of this analysis, the meeting of Tuesday, have been developed proposals for resolving energy issues emerged.
In practice was defined a draft energy action plan, that the next and last meeting of the Forum will ultimately approve.
Meanwhile, the forum participants are engaged in the preparation of project sheets designed to advance its objectives.
Under the EGS program will then conducted a feasibility study of projects most representative, and one of them will be realized in the school leader (IPSIA “Cavour – Marconi” in Piscille).
Nowadays, meanwhile, will begin the training course "Sustainability and alternative energy", organized by the Mountain Community in collaboration with the same project leader EGS school, to provide instruments and materials for teachers to environmental education.

Energy sustainability explained in a course |
|
|
|
|
Will be repeated in the coming months refresher course on “Sustainability and Renewable energy ", successfully organized by the Mountain Community in collaboration with the school IPSIA “Cavour Marconi” in Piscille (Perugia) - school leader participating in the European EGS project (Programme "Intelligent Energy"). This course is aimed at teachers of secondary schools.
The course (given by experts from the Mountain Community, University professors and Engineers) has achieved considerable success.
Teachers who have followed the course have provided information, materials and tools for organizing in their schools educational activities devoted to energy saving and increase their design capabilities in this topic.
The course also included visits to facilities of biomass and to specialized companies in energy savings through the use of renewable.
The rating of the course was high, both in content and the organization, according to the results of a questionnaire distributed to the participants.

Schools are some of the most important public energy consumers, because of their size, their number and their construction and technical equipment. Energy efficiency in schools can contribute to climate protection and relief of community budgets. Primarily it offers the background, against which young people can learn skills for a sustainable lifestyle and active participation in their society.
For that reason, the International school congress "Energy efficiency in schools" will take place on the 7th - 8th October 2010 in Stralsund. It is also the final event in the European project, Energy – Education – Governance – Schools (EGS).
The event is aimed at schoolchildren, teachers, decision makers and multipliers in Germany and Europe. It is an opportunity to exchange experiences on good approaches to energy efficiency and renewable energies in schools. This includes pedagogical and technical aspects as well as management.
Representatives of such projects are heartily invited to present a poster or to hold a workshop. Such contribution should be announced by 31st July 2010.

Schulen gehören aufgrund ihrer Größe, ihrer Anzahl sowie ihrer baulichen und technischen Ausstattung zu den wichtigsten öffentlichen Energieverbrauchern. Energieeffizienz in Schulen trägt daher zum Klimaschutz und zur Entlastung kommunaler Haushalte bei. Vor allem aber bietet sie den Hintergrund, vor dem Jugendliche Kompetenzen zur nachhaltigen Gestaltung ihres Lebensumfeldes erwerben können.
Daher findet am 7.-8. Oktober 2010 in Stralsund der Internationale Schulkongress "Energieeffizienz in Schulen" statt. Er ist gleichzeitig die Abschlussveranstaltung des Europäischen Projekts Energy – Education – Governance – Schools (EGS).
Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Schüler, Lehrer, Entscheidungsträger und Multiplikatoren in Deutschland und Europa. Sie dient dem Erfahrungsaustausch über gute Ansätze zu Energieeffizienz und erneuerbaren Energien in Schulen. Dies schließt pädagogische, technische und organisatorische Aspekte ein. Wer in einem entsprechenden Projekt mitarbeitet, ist daher herzlich eingeladen, dieses in einem Workshop oder mit einem Poster zu präsentieren. Entsprechende Beiträge sollten bis Ende Juli 2010 angemeldet werden.

Energy and Environmental Education in Europe – More than Diversity |

24°C is a major temperature difference – more than what differentiates an average summer day from a winter day in many places in Europe. 24°C – and consequently worlds – separate students and teachers, who are committed to responsible handling of energy in various countries throughout Europe. This is what the partners of the European Project of Energy Education Governance Schools (EGS) determined at the beginning of March 2010 at an international forum in Järvenpää, Finland:
The Romanian representative, Horatiu Soim (Western University ‘Vasile Goldis’ Arad) reported than many schools in his country are poorly heated in winter and that the lowest temperatures taken in classrooms were 3-4°C. On the other hand, the Umweltbüro Nord e.V., which supports German schools in saving energy and climate protection, measured a maximum value of over 27°C, also in the winter.
