19.02.2015: Energy Seminar for German Students
The A-level students class 11 attended a so called “energy seminar” at the “Auslandsgesellschaft NRW” in Dortmund in order to get information about the subject matter “Sustainability”. They learnt about the “Energiewende” (the change in the German energy policy).
The A-level students class 11 attended a so called “energy seminar” at the “Auslandsgesellschaft NRW” in Dortmund in order to get information about the subject matter “Sustainability”. They learnt about the “Energiewende” (the change in the German energy policy).
Those students taking part in the EU-project planned to make a film about this subject, about the electricity and its use instead of petrol as a contribution to a cleaner environment. After the seminar they contacted one of the Automotive Technology teachers at our school, Eike Simmank, and they learnt about the school project of transforming a buggy vehicle with a combustion engine into an electric car. They were so fascinated by the project that they integrated the film into this EU project. In the film one can see how students from the automotive department at the school, take the old engine out, install the electric engine and master technical difficulties they came across. The buggy itself was then presented “live” to the Spanish and Finnish students at their first meeting in Dortmund in May 2015. One of the electric stations in Dortmund for recharging an electro car is also shown in one of the student films, called “Clean City”.

03.12.2015: Preparing the Second Transnational Meeting in Dortmund in February 2016
Julia Schweers, Philipp Lüttgens, Jochen Steier, Susanne Auer and Knut Hoecke, the core group of project teachers from the LHB who took part in the second year of the project met in order to plan the next transnational meeting in Dortmund. The group agreed upon a rough draft of the schedule in which all classes involved in the project should be represented in the work groups and social activities. Apart from work on filming and editing the students got the opportunity to deal with the subject matter of “sustainability” with a technical focus (as this was the focus of the school as well) as “sustainability” was the subject matter this transnational meeting focussed on. So it was planned to visit the water works in Schwerte and learn about cleaning and preparing drinking water, then experiencing a tour with the hybrid bus of the Dortmund public transport, visiting the DASA and learning about technology ensuring humans’ health at their workplaces and robotics, as a future challenge of humanity. Robotics were also dealt with in an exhibition in the Dortmund U-Tower by the HWKV. One last activity was added. This was a musical gig in the school hall during the project week to give international students the chance to show what they musical abilities they can offer and to give all interested teachers from the staff the opportunity to enjoy that guests from our partner schools were there. All these activities were integrated into a very complex schedule for the Second International Meeting by the group. In the following week German students were “recruited” to take the Spanish and Finnish students out to the movies, to bowling and to bistros in the evenings.
