Energy systems especially fossil fuel resources leads to global warming. The energy systems designs must be done according to the rules of protection of the nature & the environment . CLEAN k-WAT Project aimed at the preparation of the teaching materials and media on the ‘impacts of energy systems including renewables on the environment and nature’. Target groups will be energy systems designers (engineers), mechanical and civil engineers and students in those depts. Because, we noticed that, these engineers are lack of functions of ecosystems and ecological mechanisms. In addition to technical aspects energy systems design processes it is certainly required to integrate environmental concerns deeply as well. Along this line, it is aimed to train energy systems designers and students on the vulnerability and fragility of ecosystems and nature. The first goal of the project is to prepare innovative training materials for the target group identified as energy systems designers and energy systems engineering students. A book and related documents will be prepared and used in partner universities with the help of ICT in training, teaching & learning activities. E-learning platform will be prepared. The book will contain the following topics and can be more; Short TOC of the Book:-Introduction to energy systems, -Introduction to ecology and ecosystems' functions, how it works-Impacts of energy systems to the environment-Fossil fuel based systems-Renewable energy systems -Nuclear power plants-How to produce green energy? -Criticisms & conclusion -Case studies in the countries So; starting with the question "What is Green Energy?", we will continue by presenting the ecological approach and the potential environmental impacts, and making comparisons of the production systems in a given area & judge on the best solutions with an innovative decision tree development and applications. Of course economical approaches should also take place in the training materials.As a second goal; the project is oriented on enhancing the quality & performance of VET system, improving information & guidance systems & strengthening the EU dimension in the energy systems development & development through promoting creativity, innovation & transfer of EQF principles in terms of increasing the qualification & training of the main target group in the sector. In order to realize these set aims, our project will use the following objectives:1. Definition of joint LO based blended learning model in energy sector; establishment of innovative competence standard & qualifications description approach in terms of content & target audience.2. Adaptation & development of courses in accordance to the define qualification model & implementation of EQF/ISCO/ESCO principles.In the project; we expect you to take part in training material development studies and carry out testing of materials, coordinating testing work package, gathering testing results from partner institutions and reporting testing activities; attending transnational meetings in which work progress will be shared and take part in EQF studies. We have 8 partners; 2 universities from Turkey, 1 from Serbia; 1 research center from Hungary, 1 training center from Germany, 2 SMEs from Turkey, 1NGO from Spain. Although GIRESUN will be the coordinator of writing the book on "Integrating Environmental Considerations into Energy Systems Development", partners from universities and research institutes will take part in writing. The chapters will be shared in the kick-off meeting and deadlines of submission will be obeyed in order to lead the documentaries creation. Documentaries is planned to be created by your side. The knowledge produced in the book chapters will be transformed into visual forms by documentaries. An e-learning platform will be created by ORKON for blended learning activities. The training materials will be tested by each partner and one of our partners will the coordination of testing activity. The testing results will be reflected to the training materials and updated accordingly.The methodology we intend to apply in the project is to divide the working packages into the following activities:A1 (Project Organisation & Management) A2 (Development of the Training Book) A3 (Development of Documentaries) A4 (Description of Qualifications, Learning Objectives and European components) A5 (Setting up the e-learning Portal) A6 (Testing of the Products) A7 (Monitoring and Evaluation of the Project) A8 (Dissemination, Exploitation & Sustainability of the Project) There will be 4 transnational meetings:1st kick-off meeting in Giresun........2-3 November 20162nd meeting in Hungary ...................20 -21 June 20173rd meeting in Spain...........................23-24 January 20184th meeting in Belgrade....................19-20 June 2018

GIRESUN was the coordinator of writing the book on "Integrating Environmental Considerations into Energy Systems Development" & partners from universities & research institutes also took part in writing.The knowledge produced in the book chapters was transformed into visual forms by documentaries by AELV. E-learning platform was created by ORKON for blended learning activities.The training materials were tested by each partner by multiplier events & ENERGIAKLUB was responsible from the testing activity.
