Project Summary

Energy, which is the most important and indispensable requirement of humanity, is provided mostly from fossil fuels. This situation causes global warming, air pollution and acid rain, and environmental pollution. This problem can only be solved by increasing the use of renewable energy sources. Polatli TOBB Science High School from Turkey, Romania, Scoala Gimnazial Maria Rosetti School, from Bulgaria Petko R. Slaveykov School, Italy’s Istituto Di Istruzioni Superiore Sebastiano Satta School and Northern Macedonia from sugs Gimnazija Josip Broz Tito School as 5 partners With this project, we have prepared a project that aims to develop our students on “strengthening language skills and mathematics”, “environmental pollution and climate change” stated in the EU 2020 targets and UN Sustainable Development Goals the help of activities designed with STEM approach by living with the themes of “renewable energy sources”, “environment and climate change”.
Our project is called ‘Renew Your Energy’ RNW=E’. “Strengthening language skills and mathematics” stated in the EU 2020 targets, “environmental pollution and climate change” are among the main priorities of our project. We aim to achieve these priorities using the themes of “renewable energy sources”, “environment and climate change”. Sharing new training methods such as STEM and good practices of partners in training activities will enable us to achieve our project goals.
Our project, covering between 05/10/2020 and 04/10/2022, is 24 months long. Our target audience is 13-18 age group students, teachers and parents, and we will include 25% of economically, geographically, culturally and socially disadvantaged students in LTT activities. In our project, which includes 5 LTT five-day studies, 4 students and 1 teacher from the participating schools and 4 teachers and 16 students from the leading school will participate in each LTT. 50 teachers and 1000 students are planned to participate in local activities.
For the implementation of the project, 1 top management team consisting of the coordinator teachers of the schools and 5 project management teams consisting of 3 teachers and principals in each school will be established.
With the synergy created by teachers and students from different educational environments in LTT events, innovative solutions to global environmental pollution problem can be brought. We aim to attract our students’ interest in the field of environmental pollution and renewable energy, which is our common problem, by sharing our knowledge and experience, contributing to the EU culture.
LTT operating in Turkey in geothermal, Bulgaria, wind, solar, Italy, Romania, hydroelectric and Northern Macedonia will be held events our students to learn through experiences in the field of energy biomass, renewable energy facilities to be constructed training trip, I’m learning from experts and academics participation in the event will be held .
Our students will develop their key skills by designing a 3D energy map, wind turbine, solar powered car, carbon-free house and biogas boiler with STEM method, creating concrete products, and will share social media about global warming and environmental pollution by preparing murals, drama and short films. They will create awareness about the harmful effects of fossil fuels to the environment with practices that encourage zero waste effectiveness and bicycle use.
Our accompanying teachers will mentor each other in the fields of STEM approach, innovative educational technologies, multiple intelligence theory, classroom management, Erasmus + programs and eTwinning during LTT, and will be able to develop teaching materials by seeing innovative practices on site and adding them to their lesson plans.
Our project will be supported with the eTwinning project so that more schools reach our goals in a virtual environment. There will be 5 international events in the eTwinning Project.
During the 1st, 12th and 23rd months of the project, environmental pollution and renewable energy test, foreign language test and LTT-specific acquisition test will be applied to the target groups of our project, and the level of achievement of our goals will be measured by examining the participants’ opinion forms and activity logs.
Efficient use of energy resources and prevention of environmental pollution are both a problem for today and the future. 385 teachers, 21 administrators, 4650 students and their parents and students who will study in our schools in the coming years and their families will be partners in the solution of this problem. By bringing 21st century skills to our students, we will become individuals who are equipped with future oriented equipment, who are collaborators, who can transform
knowledge from theory to practice, produce solutions with a STEM perspective, and decide and solve problems in the field of environmental problems and energy.
