Let’s make a trip to the world of energy – energy day in a Swedish kindergarten
In May we spent two days in a Swedish kindergarten to talk about the topic energy. The kindergarten is not far from Oskarshamn, deep in the forest on the Swedish countryside. As we smelled the country air we knew we were right. There the kids have a close contact to the nature and to the animals. They learn to take care of them- in my opinion a really good concept.
Newspaper of Oskarshamn interviewed two Saxon students
Article: Interview with Steffi and Armin
Steffi Hänig and Armin Verch, two Saxon students completing their practical training in the Energy Agency of Southeast Sweden (Energikontor Sydost) within EnercitEE’s sub-project PraTLA (Practical training in local authorities) were interviewed by the newspaper of Oskarshamn. Among other things the students were asked to describe their experiences made in Smaland as well as potential differences in the energy situation between Sweden and Germany.

Premiers resultats pour le programme EnercitEE en Haute-Savoie
Mardi 7 juin 2011, le Conseil général a accueilli les étudiants de l’IER de Poisy pour la présentation de leurs travaux sur l’amélioration de l’efficacité énergétique menés auprès de 6 communes de Haute-Savoie.
Entourés de leur professeur, des représentants des communes de Douvaine, de Massongy, de Loisin, de Vallières et d’Alby sur Chéran ainsi que du CAUE, ils ont exposé le diagnostic des consommations d’énergie et d’eau qu’ils ont réalisé avec l’aide des services techniques et ont proposé un certain nombre de pistes de travail et d’amélioration de l’efficacité énergétique.
SP11 PraTLA – First 2 students from Saxony started their practical trainings in Smaland
Two students of the University of Applied Science Zittau/ Goerlitz, Steffi Hänig and Armin Verch, are going to complete their practical training in Smaland – the heart of Southeast Sweden with its typical red houses and a long tradition of energy efficiency-focused and environmental-friendly thinking.
On 6 April the two students reached Sweden. Their first stop was in Växjö, where they took part at the 2 ½ -day component seminar of EnercitEE and got in contact with the participants from five regions in Europe. After some interesting presentations and excursions the students continued their journey towards Oskarshamn.
PraTLA launched its kick-off meeting
PraTLA – Practical Training in Local Authorities is the second out of six approved sub-projects from EnercitEE’s 1st Call that launched its kick-off meeting in the Saxon Liaison Office in Brussels on 7-8 February 2011.
The sub-project matches energy efficiency needs of local authorities with know-how from students which is transferred into administration by means of practical trainings. The sub-project expects to involve more than 30 students and 50 local authorities in five regions in the project lifetime.
