ESEEF - Solar Schools Forum

The Solar Schools Forum project, run by the European Sustainable Energy Education Forum (ESEEF) during the years 2004-2006, was designed to support teaching related to renewable energy sources in many ways:

• by encouraging teachers to cover renewable energy in their classes
• by increasing pupils’ awareness of environmentally friendly forms of energy production
• by helping interested educators and pupils to find further information and materials related to renewable energy sources
• by networking schools around Europe to facilitate the exchange of ideas

The project has successfully collected information on:

• inspiring examples of tried and tested teaching ideas
• useful websites for teachers and pupils
• ideas for suitable places to visit
• teaching materials

This information was compiled from the following countries:

Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden & Switzerland.
