▶Objectives
Our main goal in implementing this project was to develop innovative and practical training materials that could be used in the field of renewable energy. We wanted to enable students and teachers to better understand current industry practices and develop relevant skills. In addition, increasing awareness of renewable energy and promoting the use of sustainable energy were also among our key objectives. Through the modules and training kits developed during the project, we aimed to improve the quality of vocational education, enhance teachers' digital and technical skills, facilitate students’ transition into the labor market, and foster an environmentally conscious mindset. Furthermore, by collaborating with partners from different countries, we aimed to share best practices, strengthen international cooperation, and gain experience in innovative teaching methods and digital content creation.
▶Activities
Four main learning and teaching activities (LTT) were organized within the scope of the project. During these activities, modules and training kits on solar energy, photovoltaic energy, solar-powered agricultural irrigation, and wind energy were developed and implemented. In addition, technical visits, workshops, and training sessions for teachers and technical staff were conducted. Evaluation meetings were held after each activity, where experiences and best practices were shared. Moreover, dissemination activities were carried out at the local level with sector representatives, educational institutions, and relevant stakeholders, and the project outputs were published on digital platforms.
▶Impact
By the end of the project, four different training modules and practical training kits were developed in key areas of renewable energy: solar thermal energy, photovoltaic energy, solar-powered agricultural irrigation, and wind energy. Through these modules, both teachers and students gained essential technical knowledge and practical application skills. A guidebook was also published during the project. One of the most significant results was the noticeable improvement in teachers’ digital and technical competencies, laying a strong foundation for the use of innovative materials in vocational education. Collaboration and knowledge sharing were strengthened at both local and international levels, fostering closer ties between educational institutions and the energy sector. Additionally, an increase in environmental awareness and understanding of sustainable energy use was observed among both teachers and students.
