You are warmly welcomed to participate in the 2nd webinar organized within the framework of the project "Polish-Norwegian cooperation platform for energy conservation and climate", which will be held on 18 January 2017 at 10:00-12:00.
A webinar will be devoted to the energy education of citizens and their mobilization to achieve the local climate and energy goals.
The speakers presenting their experience in this ares will be representatives of the Norwegian institutions: Laboratory of Climate and Energy and the Center for Education, as well as and Bielsko-Biala and Warsaw.
The first presenter will be Inger Oddrun Sverkmo from the Climate and Energy Laboratory that has been operating since January last year in the newly established green building. It was built as a passivehouse at Nord-Gudbrandsdal Upper Secondary School and produces its own energy. The lab is monitoring the processes of energy production and consumption, ventilation and the photosynthesis in a phytotron.
Richard MacLeod from Vitensenteret Innlandet will talk about the methods the science centre educators use to bring topics to life: through costumes, storytelling and interactive experiments – all in accordance with the learning outcomes of the national core curriculum. They are now planning a new room for energy, which will focus on teaching renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Warsaw is a member of the Experience Exchange Group established within the project. The city has been aspiring to become the "green metropolis" and therefore its perspective objective is to provide its residents with high standard living standards in terms of sustainable development and respect for the environment.
Bielsko-Biala is one of the winners of the competition for the best and most innovative projects in the area of EE and RES use, which was organized under the project in the first half of last year. It was attended by 20 Polish municipalities, of which 10 received microgrants to prepare their ideas for implementation. They also sign a cooperation agreement with Norwegian partners who support Polish LAs with their experience. Within the project submitted for the contest Bielsko-Biala plans to establish a center for training and research in the field of renewable energy sources and energy-efficient construction.
The webinar will be held in English. The only equipment needed is a computer with Internet access and speakers or headphones.
