Description
The goal of the project is to deploy environment-friendly technological solutions in a nursery building in the mountain town of Nowy Targ. The project will foster revenues and employment of Art-Connect (8 new jobs), and will help improve energy efficiency by 0.03 GWh, reduce emissions of pollutants by 24.41 tons and ensure better safety for the pupils and the facility staff. This is vital due to the geographic location of Nowy Targ at the bottom of a structural basin which fosters the downflow of air masses containing local and cross-border pollutions. To that end we will carry out refurbishment and construction works, i.e. building insulation, installation of photovoltaic panels, heat pumps, central heating and a freon system to cool the site, plus the installation of new doors and windows.
Significant expenditure items will also be computer tools and coding software for the classrooms, as another goal of the project is to raise the environmental awareness of children and parents. A pedagogical innovation will be implemented at the kindergarten – a modern coding-based education model. The teaching of programming will help pupils acquire basic competences which will bring about the improvement of their reading and counting skills, enhancement of life sciences knowledge, better care for own health and safety, and the shaping of pro-social attitudes.
