The project Sun at school in schools of primary education consists in giving in the form of workshops, interactive courses to the pupils to draw their attentions on the problem of the environmental protection and the behavior favorable to energy resources. The solar energy proposes as a very interesting means to affect the pupils of the primary level, and give them a good impression of the matter.

The pupils being 5 years old to 11 years old only, the used methodology is to resort to posters, picture books, photos and cartoons which the reference themes are generally environmental protection and renewable energies. However the accent is put on the environment.

To stay in accordance with the principles of sustainable development and insure the sustainability of the project, the young people are the main target because they can later facilitate the application of new laws and favor the expansion of the photovoltaic.

Through the transfer of the theoretical knowledge in schools, this project will contribute to cover the big deficit in information and especially to allow the young people to grow with a positive vision of the environmental protection, the solar energy and the new forms of energy. The strategy to be adopted will consist in introducing stage by stage, from the basic education, the training and the post-trainings. The courses are dispensed in the form of workshops and of interactive exchanges with pupils.

For example, for the primary school we begin on the theme of environment and continue with its protection. Then a practical phase allows demonstrating the theoretical aspects evoked during the interactive sessions.

It is to note that the project passed by an experimental phase led with three schools to estimate its possibilities and measure its impact.

Results expected from the project:

  • To impregnate children with the notion of environment and the importance of its protection;
  • The appropriation of the project by the teaching and educational profession.
