Three partners have been invited to participate in the project entitled “Ecological and intelligent house”. The project concerns the cooperation of participants from different countries with the idea to achieve particular objectives. In this project students and teachers mobilities are planned which will have a great impact on the participants of the project. All participants will communicate in English. The project aims to acquaint the students with alternative energy sources as well as with modern and ecological technologies used in “intelligent” houses. Through the activities included in this project the youth’s awareness of issues on pro-ecological actions will be increased. The project will also enable to combine the theoretical knowledge gained from education together with practical actions. This project is going to show that the protection of environment is not only local but also a global problem. Meanwhile the use of new technologies in everyday life may influence the reduction of environmental degradation The project will increase the interest of science and technical subjects which may help the students to choose their education path. At the same it will contribute to create intelligent and well educated society. The project will enable the collaboration among the students from different countries and at the same time will develop the ability to cooperate in specific tasks which is crucial in further life path. This kind of cooperation will also enable the systematic development of the participants’ language abilities. Taking part in this project will not only help the students to gain new skills in science and technical subjects but it will also broaden their European horizons. All the goals included in the project will be performed through specific actions which have already been planned. Experienced teachers will influence the quality of the results and they will encourage and inspire the students for further creative actions and solutions within this project. All project activities will be the subject to systematic evaluation. All results gained within this project will be available for everybody so that people can have access to them and use them for their own purposes.
The project called “The Ecological and Intelligent House” stands for a project that was financed by the European Union, as part of the Erasmus Plus Program entitled: “Cooperation for the Sake of Innovation and Good Practice”, A Strategic Partnership” – a form of cooperation between schools. That project was realized between 2015-2017. Three partners were invited to cooperate in the “Ecological and Intelligent House” program. They came from Poland (The Technical and General Education Schools Complex in Bytom), from Turkey (Sisli Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi in Instambul) and Majorca (IES PAU CASESNOVES in Inca). The said project involved a form of cooperation between partners from different countries with a view to reaching specified results. In the scope of that project, mobility of students and teachers was planned and executed, which had a positive influence on the participants of the project. It should be added that it was the English language that was the “communication” language in the project. The aim of the project was to familiarize students with alternative sources of energy as well as to familiarize them with modern and ecological technologies used in intelligent houses. Thanks to the actions undertaken in the scope of the project, an awareness of the topic of pro-ecological approaches was raised among the students. It enabled us to combine theoretical knowledge, acquired during education at school, with practical activities. The aforementioned project showed that the issue of environmental protection is not only a local problem but also a global one, while the application of new technologies in everyday life may have an impact on the degradation of the environment. To be sure, the project helped increase the interest in technical and natural sciences, which can contribute to the choice of the future educational and, ultimately, the career path. At the same time, it also contributed to making the society more intelligent and better educated. By forming a kind of cooperation between students from different countries, the aim of the project was to teach these individuals to cooperate in specific tasks, which will prove to be extremely necessary in the future. Such an undertaking most certainly contributed to improving the language skills of the participants of the project. By participating in the program, the youth did not only acquire new skills connected with exact and natural sciences but also expanded their European horizons. All aims of the project were completed through specific project-related activities that had been planned for and included in the submitted application. Experienced teaching staff that committed themselves to the realization of the project definitely had some positive influence on both the quality of the results and on the motivation of the youth to take part in further activities and to devise new solutions in the scope of that project. All project-related activities were, of course, subject to regular assessment. All the results that were delivered as part of that project were disseminated in the scope of open resources so that the largest number of people could have access to them and could take advantage of them.
