First, students did on-line researches on national energy/coal/oil/gas/ uranium resources. Afterwards, they presented, compared and contrasted the results of the countries involved. They discussed problems of the sustained management of resources and a common questionnaire on resources aspects were prepared and used in all countries. Students met energy experts and visited power stations, heating plants, energy saving houses/factories etc. They took their own measurements of energy/ electricity/heat consumption and suggested ways of reducing it at home and at school.

Besides their managing work, teachers prepared CLIL lessons and/or e-learning didactic units with a topic of energy. Each school put its results on its project website.

The common work and above all seven project meetings taught the participants about countries and their cultures, improved the language knowledge, motivated them to study languages, and contribute to building new Europe.
