Project Summary

The energy revolution is the way to a future without any nuclear energy and to an industrial society
which is obligated towards future generations concerning sustainability and responsibility. The
implementation of the energy revolution is a primary international aim which is also referred to by the
Climate Change Conference of Paris in 2016. The necessity of rising awareness in general and the
allergization of the young generation are also clearly given. With this project we will sensibilise all
participants for this problem, clarify contexts and contemplate solution possibilities. The pupils should
recognize their responsibility as European citizens and they should become aware of the necessity of
international collaboration and the upcoming problems they will help to solve. The pupils should also
realize how important it is to possess a school education and a professional education so that they
can take care for their future concerns and to become active and responsible citizens who can
contribute to Europe. By gaining knowledge about the relationships between sun, energy,
environment and nature the pupils should take responsibility for their own behavior and therefore to
the environmental consequences. In this context a change of behavior should happen concerning the
use of energy. We mainly concentrate on the sun during our focus on renewable energy because the
sun is the core element of the solar system as to natural science and shines to all nations and all life
depends on it. Therefore the sun is also a symbol for the consolidation of all nations and cultures.
With this project of the sun we offer a large band of information and possible courses of action in the
areas of natural science, languages art, geography, history, religion and literature to the pupils and
teachers. The content will be elaborated due to the course of instruction and interdisciplinarity.
Besides the project will be framed on different levels to reach as many pupils as possible and to
motivate them to campaign for their school so that they can gain interesting and positive experiences
which keeps up their motivation for learning. This mainly affects pupils who struggle with the subject
material and where the risk of a school dropout cannot be excluded. With this project we mainly
address to pupils in the age of 14-16 who attend secondary school. At every participating school
there will be class or group of pupils who works on the topics with various subject teachers.
Therefore there will be the many activities and experiments at the schools on the topic of sun and
energy in the area of natural science in the name of the subjects of physics, mathematics, and
technology. A sun dial will be built. The approach and the impact or application spectrum will be
described and documented with photos. In the area of history/geography/culture we will occupy
ourselves with the exploration of old cultures and the meaning of the sun for the Mayas , Aztecs and
Incas. In the area of biology/nature/environment we will grow flowers and vegetables in our school
garden and the growth of (sun) flowers till the autumn will be documented in written form. With photos
we will view and keep record of the turning movements of the plants. In the area of art artists (Claude
Monet, Van Gogh, Joan Miro,etc) who used the sun in their works of art will be introduced. All results
will be documented in written form and should be published on the website for all interested people.
In doing so accurate verbal expression will be demanded because the results should also be
translated into English. Beside a website, where we would like to publish our project work for all

people, we will also produce two issues of a magazine to attract people who cannot read about our
project in the internet. We will also visit photovoltaic constructions and debate about their necessity.
The reduction of prejudices and the improvement of getting to know each other should be supported
among all participants with the help of a conversation about the topic “what do we know about the
other country or what do we think to know”. Through the activities the joy about learning will be
supported in a long term way. Models will be produced for the lessons with materials on the topic of the sun will be provided on the website.
