IEE Intelligent Energy for Europe – Youth Training Project
Summary of the project:
The main aim of the project will be to train and educate youngsters (aged between 15-18 years old) in the participating countries (one class of around 20-25 youngsters for each country) on themes concerning energy savings and renewable energies. This training and education activities will use formal and informal education means to teach youngster about energy problems of the planet and more practically of their country, region and even home. They will also aim at providing youngsters with, and stimulating them to find themselves solutions which they could implement to solve such problems. Moreover, the teaching methodology will fully and actively involve the youngsters directly, since they will become also teachers during the exchanges (i.e. the hosting classes will teach the foreign classes concerning the renewable energy source and technologies used in their local areas). The project will favour a behavioural change in the youngsters involved but also on other youngsters by spreading the teaching methodologies used during the project. Moreover, the project will provide the participating youngsters with specific knowledge and skills which will significantly increase their job opportunities and career prospects.
The activities of the project will include:
-training on a local scale (i.e. youngsters in their home towns and local school managers and policy makers)
-e-learning activities (training youngsters on the utilisation of e-learning tools, putting youngsters from different countries in touch among each other and carrying out common activities by using ICTs –i.e. information technologies such as pcs and internet)
- youth exchanges (with youngsters travelling to the countries involved in the project to meet and implement activities together).
