Climate Change

As climate change is one of the major concerns of mankind these days, we should all try to think of how we can protect our planet. Therefore I would like to invite all teachers and students in Austria to work on this topic, and also to let others participate in their activities, by telling us what they do and which results they achieve.

My school is working with two partner schools in a Comenius Project. This year climate change and all environmental topics are our priorities. In Austria, we have invited Prof. Kromp-Kolb, who is an exceptional specialist in this field, to come to school and discuss climate change with the students. The Dutch and German partner schools will together go on an excursion on the Ijsselmeer to learn more about the marine environment.

As energy is our future, we should also try to learn as much as possible about alternative energies, and we should invite our students to recycle as much as possible.

I wish you all the best for your energy projects and hope, that many Austrian schools will participate and hopefully one or the other will win a prize. If you need some help or support, please send me an e-mail.

Make a difference and contribute to a sustainable future!

Welcome to the Energy is our Future blog! The blog is a dedicated space to sharing thoughts, ideas and activities that focus on enhancing and supporting energy education across the curriculum in schools. The Energy is our Future programme is intended to raise awareness on how energy consumption might affect climate change and how advanced materials can contribute to a sustainable future.

The blog is published only in English. Teachers are invited to:

  • tell us how they have implemented the Energy is our Future School programme into their teaching;
  • share their experiences and ideas with the programme;
  • describe how the programme has influenced their students' behaviour;

To post a new blog entry, with a new topic, a teacher should send a text with a header (in English) to Petru Dumitru at: futurenergia@eun.org

Comments to any existing blog entry can be made directly on the website. We thank you!
