The IEE Agency also supports the following projects involved with energy education. FEEDU Persuasive force of children through education FEEDU is an educational project aimed at teachers and pupils of primary schools in order to raise consciousness about renewable energy sources, rational use of energy and mobility. The FEEDU project will test educational tools in 130 schools involving 380 teachers and 7500 pupils and then disseminate them for broad use in primary schools. Teachers will be trained in energy education including the methodology and the necessary educational tools and experiences related to energy and mobility issues. They will set up a project-based learning plan in schools for a school year aimed at changing attitudes of the pupils and their parents with respect to their energy consumption and mobility. They will test and evaluate relevant tools for dissemination to primary schools. ACTIVE LEARNING This project promotes active learning and energy monitoring as a tool for energy education among children aged 6-12 years. T he expected outcome is a change in attitudes towards energy use among the future generation plus short- and long-term energy savings in school buildings and private households. In order to ensure that energy efficiency, renewable energy and transport become a more permanent topic in primary school education the project aims to lay the basis for integration of active learning into the national curricula. A minimum of 150 schools have been invited to test a toolbox of selected material, created especially for teachers for integration with KidsCorner. The project organises national seminars where the participating schools can discuss their experiences with energy monitoring and active learning among themselves and with other educators, agencies and ministries. Kids4Future Creating Actions among Energy Conscious Children The Kids4Future project targets a minimum of 20 pilot schools in each partner country with a common energy story, TV, events and websites for children presented under one brand with a common visual profile. The platform is a universal energy story which aims to bring in new dimensions and create understanding and enthusiasm for the energy subject, a sustainable future, and the global energy challenges. A strong brand will facilitate recall and strengthen recognition across channels, activities and countries. Pillars corresponding to children's own arenas support the platform: school, TV, event and web. This integrated approach is designed to support and create synergies between all activities with close cooperation with school authorities, communication experts and others. ENERGY PATH Energy-Path develops the first innovative e-learning platform at European level, based on open source technology, containing didactic resources on RES, RUE, Transport and mobility which allows the online updating of the Web's contents and didactic material. It is addressed to:
In a first stage, the project will access 135 Secondary schools, 325 Teachers & 8.125 Pupils. Kids corner The Kid's Corner on the European Commission's ManagEnergy website provides educational resources for children (under 11), young adults (12-16) and their teachers in 23 languages. ManagEnergy ManagEnergy is an initiative of the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy and Transport which aims to support the work of those working on energy efficiency and renewable energies at the local and regional level. The main tools are advice, training, workshops and online events. Additional information is provided in the form of case studies, good practice, European legislation and programmes.
