The aim of this project is to collaborate between different schools (public,
private, church), involve students as well as their parents, to create more
awareness and encourage a more sustainable energy lifestyle. This is
achieved through different activities that may be organised throughout the
year, but more especially during the Sustainable Energy Week of April
2011. The project is a move away from being a purely information source
to a pro-active exercise of a new lifestyle with lower carbon foot print in
schools and at home.
This project has been registered in the Sustainable Energy Europe
Campaign 2009-2013.
