Project Summary

CONTEXT / BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
The project “Load easy-drive clean”, later renamed to “easy charging – green driving”, was a great success. The project qualified the learners for a sustainable and responsible design of the environment. As part of the lesson, the students worked on the agreed project themes.

OBJECTIVE:
The goal was to inductively charge e-bikes with the help of regenerative energies and to create a booklet that shows the energy production in the involved partner countries as well as to create a project homepage.

NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPATING FACILITIES
In addition to the technical schools of the Steinfurt district, four schools participated in the project.

The Provinciale Secundaire School Bilzen is located in Limburg, the most eastern region of Flandern. The school has around 380 students and 55 employees. It is divided into 5 departments: mechanics (engineering), welding, electrical engineering, sales and technical trade (vocational training). Pupils start their education at the age of 12 and after 6 years of training, they complete the upper secondary education.

The Stord vidaregåande skule from Norway is an upper secondary vocational school and situated on the south-western coast of Norway, between Stavanger and Bergen. About 800 students attend this school, which has about 180 employees and is divided into three branches of education (preparation for high school, vocational training and adult education). The students who participated in the project come from the field of construction and design engineering, electrical engineering as well as from the area of ​​technical competence or industrial production.

The third partner, the Stredni skola prumyslova, hotelova a zdravotnicka in Uherske Hradiste is in the southeast of the Czech Republic. 900 students are trained here, 281 have a technical focus. Educational opportunities include nursing, hotel and tourism, as well as project engineering relevant to the project, with a focus on 3D printing.

The fourth partner school (with attached boarding school) is located in northwest Iceland. The Fjolbrautaskoli Nordurlands Vestra is attended by 400 students who can graduate at the university. Furthermore, this school offers training in the industrial sector, marine technology and nursing. The equipment (milling machines) is very good.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT
At the individual project meetings, the interim results were presented and optimized. The products „Homepage”, “Information brochure” and “E-Bike Charging Station / Bicycle Stands” were presented to the interested public and the representatives of local politics at the final project meeting. Between the individual project meetings, the students worked on the self-set goals of the meetings (to-do list) and also kept in contact between the international meetings.

ACHIEVED GOALS AND EFFECT
At the final presentation the students presented their results at the technical schools in the district of Steinfurt. For this purpose, the learners have weighed up various possibilities of regenerative energy production and opted for the optimal form of energy. They have learned to report competently on climate change and have compared national aspirations in each partner country, weighed up and reflected on the basis of regional events.

The Belgian students dismantled parts of their permanently installed e-bike charging station in Belgium and brought them to Steinfurt. This included the wind power and PV systems as well as the electrical installation.
Due to the limited transport possibilities in the aircraft, the Norwegians and Icelanders had to limit themselves to documenting the results in the form of pictures.
In addition to the image documentation, the students from the Czech Republic also brought various 3-pressure models for a charging station, which will be installed this year.
The students of the automation technology training program from Germany showed their self-designed mobile trailer, which regeneratively charges up to three e-bikes.

Learners in the field of design technology have developed and created a professional brochure, a flyer, rollups and much more. In addition, a very informative website (http://ecgd.tssteinfurt.de) was put online, which documents the course and the completion of the entire project with texts and images. Also the Facebook page of the project “erasmus + 2016-2018” was created and “E-twinning” used.
