☀️ One of the key deliverables of the Solar4Future+ project is the Solar Energy Curriculum. To make the curriculum more accessible and easier to implement, six pedagogical videos have been created, one for each curriculum chapter. Each video is presented by a representative of the partner institution that developed the respective chapter, providing guidance for educators.

☀️ To watch the pedagogical videos, simply access them by clicking on the links below.

During June, the Solar4Future+ project and its key results were presented to educators across Europe, reaching approximately 150 teachers. 🌍☀️

☀️ At Colegiul Național Pedagogic „Ștefan cel Mare” Bacău, project representatives Iuliana Botezatu and Ozana Alexa introduced the project to a group of 80 teachers.

☀️ Özlem Çolpan from IDDA presented the project to teachers at an Art High School in Târgoviște, Romania.

☀️ Petar Nikolić delivered an online session for economics teachers from Dubrovnik County, showcasing the project’s main outputs, including the Community Science Project (CSP) Toolkit, the Solar Energy Curriculum, and the Solar Energy Challenge.

It is estimated that in total the project during the month of June was presented to around 150 teachers.

📍 From 18–19 May, the closing meeting of the project took place in Eskişehir, Türkiye 🇹🇷

☀️ We received a very warm welcome from everyone at .digital. During the management meeting, we reflected on the successful completion of the Solar Energy Curriculum testing, Community Science Project testing, and the Solar Energy Challenge. We also reviewed ongoing tasks and planned the final steps to be completed before the project concludes at the end of the summer, including the translation of key materials and upcoming dissemination activities.

☀️ We are proud of everything achieved throughout the project and look forward to continuing our collaboration through the upcoming Solarverse EDU project.

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.
