Description
The project''s main focus is to establish a relationship with the Norwegian partner with a perspective of innovation in education, i.e. the implementation of green energy issues in the school curriculum on the basis of cooperation with the partner school. A joint educational project will be designed and implemented.
The establishment of a partnership with the Norwegian school Polarsirkelen Videregående Skole and the project''s development will have a synergic effect on the cooperation of Norwegian partner with Slovakia, as all schools under the DSA name intensively exchange their good practices
Summary of the results
The result of the cooperation is joint project work on the use of green energy. Teachers gained important knowledge about the need to change energy dependence from traditional sources to new renewable sources. This cooperation has an impact on both teachers and students.
The sustainability of the project was guaranteed by the amendment of the binding document "School Education Program", which determines the content and performance standards according to which the educational process is carried out, as a result of the project the newly gained knowledge on green energy was incorporated into this document.
During the 2023, the school in Nitra installed new roof-top solar panels for production of the solar energy, which means, school is fully independent in its electricity use, and also these are used as demonstration for electrotechnical students at the Slovak school who operate the system and maintain the system, in order to get acquainted with the technology. Educational practice and contents on solar energy from Norway, are thus very helpful and actual for the school as example how to educate and work with solar technology in vocational education.
Secondly, a new study field, Autotronic Engineer, was introduced, with specific focus on e-mobility and electric cars (getting inspiration from Norway), it is highly beneficial that thaey could transfer these into their educational content.
