Project Summary

The main aim of the project is to make students aware of the significance of adopting alternative sources of energy such as wind, hydro or solar energy which do not compromise the natural environment.
The project aims include:
– making students aware of the importance of using alternative sources of energy
– encouraging students to improve their English and ITC skills
– promoting an ecologically sustainable lifestyle as a strategy for living ecologically sustainable and healthy lives.
– imposing a long-term policy of schools in dealing with the problem of overusing electricity and neglecting environmental matters
– supporting social inclusion and prevention of discrimination
– developing knowledge among students and teachers of the diversity of European cultures thus promoting respect and tolerance for other nations

NUMBER AND PROFILE OF THE PARTICIPANTS
Students/teenagers: Each exchange involves the participation of 6 students per country who will participate directly in the exchanges. These students will be selected prior to each mobility, according to transparent criteria, which will involve command of English, ICT skills, voluntary work, involvement in the school-based activities and motivation.
Teachers/Adults: There will be teams of about five teachers at each partner organization who will manage the project implementation. Each of them will be assigned clear tasks from the beginning, ranging from linguistic to technical fields.
According to the importance and relevance of their contribution and profession two participating teachers will be selected from this team before each exchange.

MAIN ACTIVITIES
During the exchanges, students will attend classes in the morning and in the afternoon, they will work toward the achievement of specific goals in each activity:
C1-TR: Students exchange at the beginning with the participation of 2 teachers and 6 students from each partner to have seminar from an academic professional- and to have seminar from EU project expert.
C2- IT: The project teams will join the workshops about different kinds of renewable energy, meeting with an expert who will show the types of energy and advantages of such an ecological solution; workshops will include students’ work based on previous findings made as a result of visits to local Ecology Department; students will make posters about renewable energy. There also will be some quizzes. The final product will be an e-book regarding the main topic of the meeting.
C3- AT: The activities will be organized in a forum presented by the students which includes topics such as: What do local authorities do to provide inhabitants with renewable energy? Why should we use it? Effects on health and the nature? The statistical data of applying renewable energy in our regions. The final product will consist of an online magazine containing all the results produced during the meeting.
C4- RO: Students put together the information and statistical data collected and create another ebook which encompasses a set of practical advice on how to deal with the most serious ecological problems and the likely consequences if no measure is undertaken.
C5- LT: Students and teachers run workshops after which an online magazine is produced with the emphasis on things to be easily done in our daily life to protect the environment – it will be a summary of all the previous meetings. Apart from workshops, we are planning to organize visits to a recycling plant, local ecological farms and plants producing renewable energy appliances.

METHODOLOGY
We have divided our topic into several sub-topics which will constitute the theme of each meeting and exchange envisaged in the project. During LTTas, students will be at the center of all the activities, as we believe that by involving them directly and supervising their work, the project will surely have a stronger impact on them.

RESULTS AND IMPACTS
We have assumed the publication of three intermediate products which will result from the activities performed during the exchanges and will be made available to larger audiences on the project website. Therefore, we hope that there will be a positive, measurable impact on participants (with a clear increasing in awareness of ecological problems among the target group members), on local school communities and wider communities, on institutions involved and other related institutions, on local, regional, national, and international levels.
Each school will implement the topics from the project in their curriculum – it can be added to English lessons, biology lessons and geography classes, etc.This way the project results will last for many years to come.
We intend to promote a sustainability plan involving the implementation of the project results for at least 15 other schools within the three years following the end of the project in order to let these communities benefit from our European views.
