 WHY
EYEmanager championship?

 The education of the young generation in climate change, energy saving, rational use of
energy and renewable energy sources is a key factor for creating responsible future
energy consumers.
 EYEManager Championship wants to experiment, assess and transfer an innovative
approach to the energy in secondary schools aimed to enhance the quality of learning
in terms of didactic curricula and pedagogic methods. The competition and the game
dimension in an international background is the key element to facilitate the transfer of
energy skills and energy consciousness to the secondary school students. Thanks to
the competition they will have the full consciousness of what they learnt about energy
saving and they will transfer it to their peers, families and neighbours.

THE ENERGY AUDIT

 The energy audit was used as a preliminary procedure of the EYE MANAGER
CHAMPIONSHIP in order to obtain adequate information about the energy
consumption profile of the 4 case studies ( 2 houses and 2 schools).
 The audit played a crucial role in the implementation of energy saving measures by the
international teams involved in the project and in the fulfilling of the aims connected
to Energy Education in secondary schools .
 Students, teachers and agency experts followed standard procedures and steps:
 On- site Survey
 Utility Data Analysis
 Baseline for Energy Use ( INPUT DATA QUESTIONNAIRE)

interesting, I liked how the
coordinators interacted with
students. Regarding the project
meeting in Slovenia, I can hardly
wait the start of the championship
and I am ready for any challenge!
I hope our team will be the best
during this unique and
extraordinary experience.

my students better, this

EyeManager Chamionship has
already brought benefit to all
actors involved: students,
teachers, parents and local
community. We are all
committed to promoting long-
term energy education in
secondary schools!

I was amazed by the

students’ implication and
excitement toward the
project, especially for the
specific activities of the
energy audit as there were so
many new situations to get
over! Designing the
didactical approach
represented for us, the
teachers, the liaison for the
project team.
