Summary
The project started out at the beginning of 2004 and stopped at the end of May 2004 with an Energy Fair where the best pilot project, realized by 7 high schools based in the province of Salerno, was awarded. The training seminars (including the possibility to have knowledge of renewable energetic sources both through the sensitization of the rational use of energy and through the development of 1 type of renewable energetic source) were promoted by AGEAS Salerno and teaching material was collected and put together in a CD Rom diffused in 2005. The CD was distributed to each secondary and high school class so to prepare students from a theoretical point of view and disseminate the results of the training session of 2004. The good Italian habit of the "bottega" (little artisan laboratory), ideal place to put theory into practice, understanding the electronic and technical part, permitted the realization of prototypes of renewables with poor materials, was the conclusion for professional institutes. On May, 29th 2004 a videoconference was organized and the winner was proclaimed. In the brochure of the net INFEA (Centres of Environmental Education) an article was published with the results of the experience.
Results
The results have showed that the training session was well equilibrated for Scientific High Schools, but too theoretical for Professional Institutes which were more interested in the practical realisation and technological aspect. The laboratory was a great success and demonstrated the enthusiasm of teacher and students for the argument. Future working perspectives were interesting, but perhaps it€s more useful to close each of the two modules with the direct involvement of students of professional institutes in projecting and installation phase of a thermic-solar or photovoltaic implant, or involving them in the planning of rational use of energy in a schoolbuilding.
