Flip-EC: Flipped Energy Concept to Flip Climate Change
active 8 months, 4 weeks agoAre you a municipality, educational authority, educational organisation or an energy agency interested in involving schools and school communities in the energy transition process? We are looking for partners to jointly develop a concept aimed at school decision-makers.
A lot of materials and measures to save energy for schools in the Baltic Sea region and beyond (didactic material for teachers, ideas for project weeks etc.) are available and is being used in school contexts. There are certainly many active schools, climate-conscious teachers and school directors as well as engaged pupils, but they can only take influence within their reach of competences. The big-level decisions are taken by the building owners, i.e. local public authorities. Nevertheless, the schools pave the way for young people to develop a sense of duty and to promote sustainable action and transport it into the future.
The Flip-EC concept bridged the gap between public local authorities which have an important responsibility towards schools, as they are the owner of the school buildings and are therefore the competent decision-making body to implement energy-saving measures related to the building envelope and condition. Flip-EC will provide knowledge and concrete options for action by bringing together all the players required for a consistent energy optimisation of school buildings. Public local authorities’ staff are provided with the necessary thematic and technical support in the area of energy management at schools. Additionally, the importance of participation processes is integrated into the concept, which combines the joint implementation of energy-saving measures with and within the schools, the development of new ideas and the participation of various stakeholders.
Planned partnership:
Hansestadt Lübeck, eduversum (publisher and educational agency) as well as other local authorities (cities and regions), energy agencies, environmental organisations, associations related to education.
Possible target groups:
Municipalities, inter-municipal, regional authorities responsible for school buildings, educational and higher education organisations, students, teachers, school staff, school directors, research institutes cooperating with schools.
