Information Technology (IT) emits 2% of humanity's greenhouse gas emissions. They also contribute to reducing certain types of pollution, even if they produce toxic waste that pollutes eco-systems. The "Green IT" project is part of a comparative study of the ecological management of the information technology (IT) environment. This project should enable students to take a critical look at the use of materials and infrastructure for the IT made available to them. This reflection is linked to the culture and social environment of young people. If we can count on social diversity within the school, it is more difficult to consider cultural diversity. This is why we want to open up this questioning to the international community. With our partners in European high schools, we want to create a knowledge base on specific topics related to the ecology of information technology, by comparing the visions of our students in each partner country. This work will be based, over two years, on a joint reflection in each country and the co-development of action proposals, which will bring the partners together at a seminar on "Green IT in European high schools" in Saint Malo. It will lead to the implementation of tools to ensure the sustainability of the project and provide the means and motivation to adopt an eco-responsible behaviour in terms of information technology
The work should enable young people to develop the skills to - Take a critical look at the IT tools and media available to them and at their individual or collective life habits. - Conduct a coherent reflection on the evolution of the world around them at the technical, economic and social levels. - Propose solutions or define behaviours that limit the impact of their digital activities. This project should lead to : - the creation of eco-designed sites - Creation of places for reflection on the challenges of sustainable and responsible digital technology in the partner establishments. Work on the eco-design of digital equipment and services in the partner schools (reuse, recycling). - the setting up of a think tank to envisage a circular or even positive economy in the field of information technologies - the creation of a blog for schools in each partner country to enable pupils and education professionals to contribute ideas and ideas to the project. -Awareness of the issues at stake among pupils, teachers of other subjects, the educational community and all staff
