Kurzbeschreibung:

Our Partnership concerns five partners from four countries: Ebersteinska gymnasiet in Norrköping (Sweden), Plåtslageriernas Riksförbund (Sweden), Knobelsdorff-Schule in Berlin (Germany), Les Compagnons du Devoir in Paris (France) and FAS Environmental Training Unit in Dublin (Ireland). The coordinator of the Partnership is Ebersteinska gymnasiet. Plåtslageriernas Riksförbund is an employer organisation for sheet metal workers, and the other partners are vocational training organisations and vocational secondary schools. The Partnership concerns the Construction Programme.In this partnership we want to investigate a very important issue: how to build houses using less energy. We are especially interested in passive houses and we want to compare the construction of passive houses in the different countries. It is also important to involve these aspects in the education of construction workers. We believe that we can learn from each other in these matters and we want to investigate and to compare how we deal with these matters in the construction business and also in the education in the different countries. There is a need for more attention to these matters in the education of our pupils in all four countries. In order to collect information about this area, staff from the schools and training organisations and the construction organisations will travel to experts within this area (our silent partners) in the different countries to collect knowledge about this issue during the first year of the partnership. They will also compare curricula and educational systems and how to integrate this knowledge in the curriculum. Another important matter to discuss is how to facilitate the possibility to finish apprenticeship in another country. We also want to form a group of trainees with three representatives from each country and they will travel together during the second year to the different countries to learn about the construction of passive houses and to learn which method will have the least influence on the environment. It will give them a unique experience of working and travelling together with people from other countries and to experience cultural differences and similarities. The project will end with a conference in Sweden attended by trainees, staff, companies and construction organisations where the results will be exhibited and discussed.The conference will be organised by the regional organisation in Östergötland (Östsam).
