Climate change is a big challenge for all of us
energy is the
key
That was the reason for our project SISMEC, an akronym
for sustainable integration of the subject matter energy consultancy
into commercial and technical curricula.
Three partner schools from Riihimäki (Finland), Sibiu
(Romania) and Hamburg (Germany) established project teams to
integrate the subject energy consultancy into school organisation
based on the idea of a virtual company.
This site provides contents in four languages
(English , Finnish, Romanian, German). In addition the schools
from Finland and Romania set up two further sites with the same
title, but providing special contents of regional interest.
The organisation ensures that different courses and
types of education and training are involved in each school. You
will find more details following the Team items on the
left.
Overall background
The subject Renewable Energy is
part of the broader concept sustainability, that is of increasing
importance all over the world.
Education and training is one of the most important
areas to ensure required changes in behaviour, production and social
life. Considering the requirements e.g. the German Commssion
of the UNESCO published clear statements.
The German Commission appreciated the resolution of
the UN plenary meeting for a Decade "Education for sustainable
development". That resolution emphasises the meaning of Life Long
Learning for a comprehensive policy concerning sustainability.
It is a joint issue to establish the mission statement
sustainability in all institutions of (vocational) education
and training as well initial education as further training. In
detail sustainability means to take into account the interaction
between ecological, economical, social and cultural processes.
Sustainability means
-
- new methods
-
