 “How much energy do electrical gadgets spend? “, “How can electricity be saved in school?”, “How do solar plants work?” These are exemplary questions the students deal with within the concept of SnEK (School- lasting education- environmental protection) in afternoon classes. After being originally intended as a two-year pilot project SnEK has turned into a worthwhile addition to the regular schedule of 10 all-day schools within the Hannover region. The goals are to sensitize students to topics like energy and climate protection and to save development opportunities of current and future generations. In an interactive and experience oriented atmosphere the students are able to acquire environmental knowledge and develop competence regarding problem solving and designing. Through individual detecting and solving of problems they learn concrete and effective ways of action for the day-to-day handling of alternative energies. Convinced of the idea of lasting education AS Solar contributes financially to the realization of the concept which will be expanded to more schools in the Hannover region next school year.
