IUSES presentation at Childrens Palace Bucharest

The IUSES project was presented in a Solar Energy convention, "Energiile Regenerabile - Viitorul Energetic al Copiilor nostri", hosted by SUNE in the Childrens Palace of Bucharest on the second of octomber. The audience was composed of high school and secondary school students and they were very enthusiastic about energy efficiency and how they can improve it in their school. Pictures of this event are available at this link.

Also, with the help of SUNE president, Mrs. Manuela Draghicescu, we hope to gain more sponsors for the national EESA prizes.

The first teacher seminar was held at Ion Creanga Highschool on the 26th of October.

The main subject of the seminar was building energy efficiency and experiments to be carried out by teachers and students, and, the communication and colaboration platform for e-learning (Moodle) implemented at www.iuses.ro (the teachers were enthusiastic about it), and other course and project management issues.
The written feedback collected from the teachers about the seminar and the project in general was positive. Although we expected around 60 teachers to participate in the first seminar, we were astonished to see that 93 teachers were present at the seminar (we had to find a lot of chairs). We would like to show our deepest appreciation to Mrs. Corina Stanescu from Ion Creanga highschool and Mrs. Dana Moraru from Gheorghe Lazar highschool for helping us organize this seminar and for their contributions to the seminar, especially those regarding project management and implementation. Photos from this event are available at the following link. Presentations and other materials that relate to this seminar are downloadable from IUSES web site.

Sinergija med IUSESOM in Ekošolami

11. maja 2009 je Slovenski E-forum predstavil IUSES nacionalni koordinaciji Ekošol. Srečanje je bilo plodno, saj so se Ekošole odločile, da IUSES uvrstijo v svoj program za šolsko leto 2009/2010. Tako bo v prihodnjem šolskem letu IUSES eden izmed korakov za ekozastavo.

Za tiste, ki Ekošol še ne poznate: vsaka šola v mreži mora vsako leto opraviti 6 korakom s katerimi dokaže svoj ''eko'' način življenja, učenja in poučevanja, za nagrado pa lahko obdrži svojo ekozastavo. zastava visi pred vhodom v šolo in simbolizira "eko" filozofijo šole.

Sinergija med IUSESOM in Ekošolami pomeni, da bo v prihodnjem letu IUSES del kurikuluma, poleg tega pa Slovenski E-forum pričakuje, da se bo več šol prijavilo na Evropsko nagrado za energetsko učinkovitost.

On Maj 11th 2009 Slovenski E-forum presented IUSES to the national Eco school coordination. The meeting has been very successful, as Eco schools decided to include IUSES into 2009/2010 school year program and make IUSES one of the steps towards an eco flag in that period.

For those not familiar with eco schools movement: each school of the network every year performs 6 steps in order to prove its eco way of living, learning and teaching and as an award keeps its eco flag. The flag hangs in front of the schools entrance and symbolizes the "eco" teaching philosophie of the school.

The synergies between IUSES and Eco schools means that IUSES teaching tool kit will be used directly in the curriculum, besides Slovenski E-forum expects more schools to join the European Energy saving Award.

Afin d’introduire IUSES aux élèves, plusieurs écoles ont demandé auprès de prioriterre l’intervention d’un « volontaire pour la planète » dans leurs plus petites classes.
Le programme des « volontaires pour la planète » propose 2 ateliers différents : le Puzzle de l’énergie et les Eco gestes. Le puzzle de l’énergie permet aux élèves de comprendre mieux les sources d’énergie et leur transformation pour l’utilisation par l’homme. Les éco gestes permettent aux élèves de voir quels gestes les élèves mettent déjà en œuvre et de leur en apprendre de nouveaux. C’est une très bonne introduction au programme IUSES
