Europeans ace a daunting challenge in the global
ght against climate change. While we must use
energy more responsibly to ensure a secure and
sustainable supply, we set ourselves the target to
reduce CO2
emissions by 20% by the year 2020.
Each o us can make a proound dierence by
rising to the challenge and becoming more energy-
conscious in daily lie. Beginning with primary
school, educational initiatives at all levels can help
raise awareness about this important issue.
Experience has shown that children and youngsters
are key to achieving long-term behavioural
changes in the rational use o energy and the
use o renewable energy sources. Over the past
decades, young people have increased their
energy consumption considerably, or example,
in the use o entertainment equipment, mobile
phones and motorised vehicles. At the same time,
their concerns about the environmental impact
o our energy-intensive liestyles have grown,and many young people are keen to do their part
to change things or the better.
The European Union recognises the strategic role
education has in stimulating more responsible,
sustainable energy use. Although education is
usually the responsibility o national authorities,
the European Commission is also active in this
eld. Specically, it disseminates inormation and
encourages the transer o successul ideas and
practices across borders.
The European Commissions Energy Eciency
Action Plan1 emphasises the need or investing
in teaching aids or primary, secondary and
vocational curricula. To translate these priorities
into action, the European Union provides nancial
and other support to a whole range o initiatives,
or example through the Intelligent Energy
Europe (IEE) programme. The IEE programme
aims to boost actions to improve energy
eciency and to encourage the wider uptake o
renewable energies. The programme supports
schools and educational authorities as well as
other stakeholders such as local and regional
energy agencies to bring about a behavioural
change towards a low-carbon society. The website
ManagEnergy (http://www.managenergy.net)
supported by the IEE programme runs the
Kids Corner which provides access to a wealth
o inormation and tools on energy education
or students o all ages and their teachers. This
material is available in all o the EUs ocial
languages.
In recent years, many schools and educational
authorities have realised the importance o
educating children (and indirectly their parents
and other adults) about sustainable energy use.
They were oten supported by local and regional
energy agencies that introduced relevant
activities in schools. Through the IEE programme,
these stakeholders have collaborated on energy
education or all age groups.

Integrated initiatives
Intelligent energy education is a key priority
within the IEE programme, prompting young
people to use energy more responsibly. The
programme supports educational activities that
replicate and expand successul experiences at
local or national level. Ideally, Member States will
incorporate sustainable energy education into
their national curricula. These initiatives also help
raising awareness among teachers and other adult
trainers on energy issues, and equip those currently
employed in the sector with needed skills.
Since 2004, the IEE programme has supported 16
energy education projects which beneted more
than 1 000 schools rom 26 European countries,with the Community contributing about 12
million (or 60%) o the overall 20 million price
tag. Results o these projects and success stories
are publicised, or example via a video that
reached nearly ve million viewers, as well as in
this brochure.
Sound partnerships between stakeholders such
as energy agencies and educational institutions
across Europe will ensure the success o energy
education projects. Experience shows that alasting impact is possible by involving a broad
range o actors rom the public and private
sectors. Together, we can make a dierence!
Project example:
Active Learning
Are you a teacher? Then why dont you try
the new ready-to-use material available in 14
dierent languages in the new Active Learning
toolbox? The toolbox contains suggestions or
lively educational activities or children aged 612
based on the pedagogical principle o learning by
doing (see page 5).
Some 180 Champion Schools who participated
signed up to monitor energy use in their acilities,
which was not always easy. Fortunately, teachers
demonstrated resourceulness, or example in
one school where the energy monitoring exercise
was transormed into a civics lesson where pupils
lobbied local politicians to change the metering
system. Support and commitment rom school
principals and headmasters was also important,
since they are the ones who decide whether to
use methods and materials tested by one or a ew
teachers in all relevant classes.
Schools participating in the project made a
sincere eort to succeed, and ollow-up surveys
demonstrated o an increase in student knowledge
in areas such as energy labelling. Participating
teachers also reported a high level o enthusiasm
among students, providing urther evidence o
the projects real-lie benecial impact.
Intelligent energy
education is a key priority
within the IEE programme.

specically at primary schools, the project sought to raise the awareness o pupils and their parents with
respect to mobility, renewable energy and the rational use o energy in general. Ater being trained in
energy education and receiving the necessary tools and methodology, teachers introduced a project-
based learning plan. Teachers tested and evaluated relevant tools and then made them available to
primary schools and attended workshops on integrating energy education into the curriculum.
Results> Some 450 teachers tested educational tools and experiences at 154 schools, with the
participation o 9 000 pupils. A collection o 40 tools, including inormation cards and
books, videos, science air projects, games and activity books are available online to get
children interested in energy and mobility.
> Children experienced a greater awareness o energy consumption at school and in the
home.
> Teachers received training in energy education, allowing them to introduce project work in
the classroom at their own initiative throughout the school year.
> Primary schools exchanged experiences and methods in energy education.
> Teachers learned how to integrate energy education into the primary school system. The
project showed that i educational tools are accompanied by guidelines, exercises and best
practices, teachers could easily integrate energy education into the regular curricula.

Active LearningDuration: 1/200612/2008
ObjectiveActive Learning emphasises a practical, hands-on approach to education. With this in mind, this project
promoted active learning and energy monitoring as a tool or energy education among children aged
612. Specically, the project aimed to change attitudes about energy use among the uture generation
and ultimately lead to short- and long-term energy savings in school buildings and private households.
To expand the prole o energy eciency, renewable energy and transport in primary school education,
Active Learning sought to lay the basis or integrating active learning into the national curricula. Morethan 150 schools were invited to test a toolbox o material, and participated in seminars in which they
discussed experiences with energy monitoring and active learning. Representatives rom agencies and
relevant ministries also provided input at these conerences.
Results> The project established a basis o integrating active learning on energy eciency,
renewable energy and sustainable transport into the national school curricula o all partner
countries.
> Participating schools reduced their energy consumption by 5%, while households o the
involved actors reduced their consumption by 2%.
> Children at more than 180 primary schools conducted energy monitoring activities, which
helped them expand their knowledge o, and change their behaviour towards, energy
eciency.
> Teachers beneted rom a web-based toolbox o active learning activities on energy
eciency, renewable energy and sustainable transport, including energy monitoring
materials.
> Energy experts, teachers, schools and school authorities, and energy agencies improved

Instigating simple energy-efcientbehavioural practices in schoolsFLICK THE SWITCH
Duration: 9/20088/2010
ObjectivesAt any given time, more than three billion lights, computers, TVs, DVD players and other electrical
devices are on standby, wasting billions o watts o energy and millions o euro in unnecessary costs.
Using a catchy and easy-to-remember slogan, this project encourages pupils to fick the switch or turn
o all lights and electronic devices at school or at home when leaving a room. While each bulb does not
use much energy on its own, at 10 to 15 watts per device it all adds up. Project organisers will be able to
measure success in terms o improved energy eciency, security, and lower CO2
emissions.
Results> More than 2 000 European schools will have been made aware o the campaign, with at
least 100 000 students rom 200 schools participating.
> The potential impact o students turning o unused lights and devices at school and at
home during the campaign is expected to save at least 1.6 million, as well as reduce CO2
emissions by 13 600 tonnes.
> Materials developed or the project include a website, leafet, posters, and educational and
training materials. Tools and materials rom past initiatives will also be adapted and used
to add value to the campaign.
> Following the program, there will be a proven methodology or a European-wide energy
eciency among schools which can be reused in the uture as a platorm or new campaigns
in other areas.
> In the long term, childrens amilies and riends will also start ficking the switch,
representing an enormous potential or sustainable energy savings, energy security and
protecting the environment.

European Young Energy ManagerChampionshipEYEManager Championship
Duration: 9/20082/2011
ObjectivesThe basic idea behind this project is to organise an international competition known as EYEManager
Championship. Six international teams composed o secondary school students representing the nine
participating countries must tackle the problem o energy management at school and in the home.
Students and teachers will initially receive energy training, and the team that reaps the best economic
saving will be recognised as the Best European Young Energy Managers Team. The nal phase oresees
the student competitors sharing their new knowledge with their peers. Teachers will also be responsible
or transerring the curricula and education tools and methods developed during the course o their
project to their colleagues, so the learning process continues long ater the competition has ended.
Results> Students will sharpen their energy skills and consciousness about energy matters.
> Teachers will improve their learning methods in energy education, and develop and test
innovative energy curricula or use by their colleagues. The complete EYEManager manual
and educational resource pack will be available in Bulgarian, English, Greek, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish thus making replication easy
across Europe.
> Schools and domestic households will improve their energy perormance, leading to
signicant energy eciency and economic savings, as well as a reduction in carbon dioxide.
> Local stakeholders will gain a greater awareness o energy education.
> Schools will boost their transnational cooperation with one another, as well as with energy
agencies.

Schools at University or Climateand EnergySAUCE
Duration: 9/20088/2011
ObjectivesSurvival o modern societies depends on nding ways o acting responsibly with regard to the natural
resources on which lie depends. In this project, participating universities will develop an interactive and
interdisciplinary educational programme or elementary and secondary school students aged 1013.
The goal is to raise childrens awareness about the core topics o climate change and sustainable energy
use, and demonstrate how they can contribute to climate protection by adopting intelligent energy
behaviour. In a best case scenario, elementary schools will integrate energy and climate change issues
into their regular curricula.
Results> Every partner university will develop and deliver three to ve national SAUCE programmes
or elementary and secondary school students. Universities will also invite up to 2 500 pupils
or a ve-day on-campus programme once or twice a year.
> The programme, which includes events or teachers, will acilitate the integration o energy
and climate change issues into the regular school curricula and disseminate best practice
examples o teaching materials and inormation sources. Teachers will enrol their pupils
regularly in the programs and choose rom several educational tools.
> Continuing contacts with teachers will be ostered, and the inclusion o non-ormal energy
education experts in the project will lead to networking between dierent educational
actors at national, regional and international levels.
> An organisers handbook eaturing programme structure and checklists will serve as a guide
or European universities interested in carrying out SAUCE programmes.
> A databank o lecturers, educational actors and best practice presentation materials rom
six European member states will be compiled or widespread dissemination.
