☀️

The Solar4Future Community Science Project (CSP) Toolkit testing phase took place from March to April across all project partner countries:

🇱🇻 Latvia
🇹🇷 Türkiye
🇪🇸 Spain
🇮🇹 Italy
🇭🇷 Croatia
🇷🇴 Romania

The testing involved a large number of participants and received very positive feedback from both students and instructors. 🌍✨

Following the successful testing phase, the CSP Toolkit has now been finalized and will be translated into all partner languages, enabling its implementation and wider use at the national level in each partner country. 📚🚀

Project’s Romanian 🇷🇴 partners from Colegiul National Pedagogic have prepared a wonderful brochure that presents all six lesson plans, along with the testing phase carried out across all six project countries.

We encourage everyone to explore the brochure and learn more about the project. ☀️

On 25th of March. Silvia Valente, project representative from I.I.S.S. Frederico Il Stupor Mundi 🇮🇹 presented all five chapters of the ☀️ CSP toolkit at her school to an auditorium of around 100 people.

📍From 27–28 January, the 2nd management meeting of the project took place in Cuevas del Campo, Spain 🇪🇸.

☀️ We were warmly welcomed by everyone at .labrador.cuevas, who prepared a rich and engaging programme. It included a cultural event and presentations of real-life modules that use solar and other sustainable energy sources, developed by students within the framework of the chapter “Renewable Energy and Sustainability in Technologies and Society” from the Solar Energy Curriculum.

☀️ During the management meeting, we discussed the successful completion of the Solar Energy Curriculum testing, reviewed ongoing tasks, and planned the next steps to be delivered before summer. Such as implementing the Solar Energy Challenge and testing the CSP Toolkit.

☀️ The next and final project meeting will take place in Türkiye 🇹🇷 from 18–19 May.

We invite you to explore two interactive educational tools developed by our project’s partner IDDA!

1. Solar Panel Energy Tool ☀️
Discover how much electricity you can save and how much you can reduce your carbon footprint by switching to solar power: https://solar4future-erasmus.com/energy-tool-1/

2. Home Energy Saver Tool ☀️
Calculate your household’s energy costs and carbon footprint, and get personalized suggestions on how to reduce expenses and lower your carbon emissions: https://solar4future-erasmus.com/energy-tool/

Give them a try and see how small changes can make a difference! ☀️

International Mobility of Students in Corato, Italy 🇮🇹, which took place from October 20th to 22nd, has successfully concluded!

☀️ During the event, students and teachers from all six countries involved in the project participated in testing the lesson plan “Artistic Expression through Solar Energy”, developed by the project partners from I.I.S.S. Federico II Stupor Mundi.

Students and teachers had the chance to try their hand at developing botanical photographs on paper and fabric using the Anthotype and Cyanotype methods. 🍃☀️

The event concluded with a management meeting and a very insightful presentation by a Solar Energy expert, engineer Chiara Ostendi. 🔬☀️

A heartfelt thank you to all the dedicated teachers and students from I.I.S.S. Federico II Stupor Mundi for their warm hospitality, engaging workshops, and excellent presentations that helped everyone explore both the theoretical and practical sides of botanical photography! ☀️☀️☀️ #
