E G SEnergy, Education, Governance and Schools.
A European school panel for involving local communities in energy efficiency programs
Focus on:
Energy saving and energy efficiency actions
Trainings for teachers
Educational contents for students
Relations and synergies among schools and others stakeholders (local communities, public administrations, universityes, enterprises,…)
Project Summary
A network of 13 bottom-up school poles involving families, local Administrations, SMEs, training institutions, environmental and energy agencies, public and private financial actors and all relevant stakeholders in 10 different countries. (IT, PT, NL, SK, F, FIN, BG, DE, RO, AT)
At least 39 new energy projects
Manifesto for energy efficiency in schools Communities
Background
EGS starts from the need to involve local communities in tackling energy issues and improving energy efficiency. The main actor contributing to involve a whole community and at the same time training the younger generations is school, and more specifically high-schools
The project focuses on 4 main levels: developing new educational contents for pupils, teachers training, involvement of the local productive sector (SMEs), governance.
The main outputs will be:
A website, www.egs-project.eu, localized in 13 linguages
an energy manifesto for schools, energy management and audits in schools,
training for pupils and teachers and a collection of at least 39 new energy projects out of which each school forum will implement one pilot activity that will be monitored and evaluated during the project life
The web site www.egs-project.eu
Objectives
To define the actual framework of implementation of energy efficiency in schools
To strengthen the internal capacities of the schools
To valorise the schools role in policy making
To make schools capabilities available for the local communities
To increase the local communities participation in the energy efficiency process
To start concrete pilot actions
To allow a monitoring and evaluation process for pilot actions during and after the project
To increase the number of schools participating in the network
To stimulate the EGS partner and other stakeholders cooperation for new activities
Main steps
The first action will be defining the actual framework of the implementation of energy efficiency at school, being a necessary knowledge base for successive activities and will lead to a census report of best practices.
A Manifesto for the energy efficiency in the schools communities will be prepared and
The courses for schools staff and for students will be organised.
The core of the project will be then the involvement of local actors in participated educational and innovation processes on 4 levels: educational programmes, teachers training, involvement of the local productive sector (SMEs) and governance for the involvement of families, Local Administrations and all relevant stakeholders.
Each of the 13 fora will produce and action plan with at least 3 feasibility plan for the main tasks
and will implement 1 pilot actions that will be monitored and evaluated
The international added value will be the common creation of the action plans and the constant exchange of experiences .
Expected results
Energy Surveys at 6 partner schools + 7 from other partner countries + 3 from 10 participant countries (40-45 in total)
13 Training courses for schools staff (at least 15 participants each one)
13 Integrated school courses for students (at least 100 students each one)
13 Energy management systems for schools
Increasing the energy management capabilities of the schools: energy consumption reduction of about 15% taking into consideration the yearly thermal trend and/or green energy supply, etc
13 school Forums and 13 action plans: each action plan containing at least 5 community projects
Feasibility studies for projects selected by the forums: 39 feasibility in total
Activation of at least 13 Pilot actions (at least one for each forum) and monitoring
National and International network enlargement: 5 other EU countries
Communication with 10.000 families in each participant community: 130.000 families in total
A Manifesto for energy efficiency in schools Communities
International cooperation agreement
