The specific aims of the project are - design, development, testing, evaluation and dissemination of new innovative methods, online tools and multimedia-rich content (eContent) used for training teachers and VET trainers in the "environmental" education and training sector. To achieve these aims the project team will:
- Conduct a SURVEY ON ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION. This activity consists of a Surveys on Global and Local (EU level) Environmental Problems; EU Environmental Legislation; EU Environmental Standards; European Environmental Education programmes to aid Sustainable Economic Development (developing appropriate training/learning materials for environmental assessment and technical environmental auditing).
- Develop ENVIRONMENTAL E-TRAINING CONTENT. This activity develops training materials for Implementing Environmental Standards; Tools for Technical Environmental Auditing (Energy, Water, Materials and Waste); training in Economics and Environmental Economics and provides background information for the improvement of analytical skills. This INNOVATIVE E-LEARNING CONTENT contains e-training materials integrated with the following on-line database of cost-effective retrofit options.
- Construct an ENVIRONMENTAL DATABASE. This online database of cost-effective retrofit options will be developed covering Energy, Water and Materials conservation measures, the use of Renewable Systems for Sustainable Economic Development, Pollution Reduction and Waste Minimisation.
- PILOT VALORISATION (Dissemination and Exploitation) EXPERIENCES. These provide the key to the end-users where the developed package is used to educate and train energy and environmental personnel in industry, commercial organisations and the public sector and helps them to construct energy and environmental audits for their sites using the interactive software developed during the project.
As complimentary aims, the project will teach "environmental" teachers and VET trainers to teach online and support them using ICT-based learning techniques.
