5. Teacher-mentor meeting February 2017 in Miskolc
Programme:
Presentations about several energy soures, their advantages and disadvantages which should help the mentors in the following workshop in Brno as a working basis for the discussion about a future energy mix in Europe.
6. Energy workshop with ethical discussion April 2017 in Brno
Programme:
We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the different energy sources. Therefore we heard presentations about those energy sources from our mentors. In small international groups we evaluated the possible options of the pros and cons, ethical consequences and ethical values of the different energy sources. The mentors guided us through a rotating system of different work stations. All international groups made the decisions for their own energy mix and created a pie chart to explain their energy mix to the audience. An average pie chart was made out of all the pie charts from every group. Finally we discussed this average pie chart and compared it with the current energy mix from Europe. (see results)
7. Teacher-mentor meeting June 2017 in Athens
Programme:
Preparation of the final report together by 9 teachers and 9 students from abroad and the host team.
