In order to meet the challenges, with the implementation of the project we complete the following goals: 1. Acquisition of professional skills and knowledge of the students, by studying innovative practices in the field of renewable energy sources. This is an innovative priority in technical education. Upgrading technical knowledge with knowledge of different types of renewable sources and their maintenance, adjustment, operation and repair. 2. Development of teachers' skills and competencies for quality interaction in an interdisciplinary STEM environment. Learning innovative methods to increase the activity, creativity and motivation of students. Skills for using the toolkit in daily teaching, for better interaction between mentors, students and STEM-environment 3. Increasing the institutional capacity of Secondary Technical School "Dr. N. Vassiliadi". Internationalization and increasing the capacity of the staff to develop and implement European projects. Use of digital technologies in education. 4.

Secondary Technical School "Dr. N. Vassiliadi" is a leading and modern school in the region. Over the years, it has provided professional training with a focus on innovative dual-form training, in a real working environment, in cooperation with businesses and universities. A STEM center has been built in the school. A specific need for teachers is to be trained in good European practices for working in the new environment. A challenge for them is the exchange of experience on STEM-methods of interaction/mentor-students-environment/, how to use digital technologies in education to make the learning process more interesting for students. Social responsibility is an integral part of the school's strategy, therefore there is a need for an innovative priority in technical training - training of personnel upgrading their education with knowledge about renewable energy sources, in connection with the challenge of the commitment made by the EU, Europe to become a climate neutral continent in the world by 2050. In Bulgaria, there is a shortage of specialists who design, service, install, maintain and adjust the facilities. The students from the technical specialties will upgrade their knowledge, through practical training on RES, necessary
