There

(SIEU Handbook, SIEU Methodology, Teacher handbook) and student (Energy
fact sheet) in the implementation of the SIEU methodology. Visit the

| Task | ||
| Description and Evaluation | ||
The
methodology of SIEU builds upon the successful Dutch program “Schools
for Sustainability” (SfS). In this program, students from vocational
schools, who have learned the materials, pass along this tried-and-true
information in the form of advice to the other stakeholders. By doing
so, the students learn in a creative and interactive way how to find
sustainable answers, gaining experience and understanding that may
prove invaluable to them and to their communities in future years. |
