Become a SPARE-partner!

(School Project on Application of Resources and Energy) is one of the worlds largest educational project on energy saving, climate and sustainable development. The project started in 1996 and is now implemented in 16 countries, with more than 3 000 schools and 130 000 pupils participating every year. SPARE competition Every educational year SPARE runs an international competition on best works from schools on environment, energy and climate. The works we receive tell about high interest and creativity in solution of environmental challenges linked to energy! 10 - 15 countries participate every year, and we receive 40 – 50 works on international level. An international jury assess the works and appoint the winners. Nominations are announced for both pupils and teachers. Practical energy measures Energy efficiency is dramatically low in most of our project countries, and we see repeatedly that even simple and cheap measures for improvement of energy situation are not realized. SPARE aims to increase knowledge and reduce barriers for application of low cost measures on energy saving and renewables. In 2007 we did practical projects in almost all our project countries, covering windows restoration, improved cooking stoves, insulation of educational buildings, solar heating, solar water pasteurization and energy efficient greenhouses. What can you do? If you support our ideas and projects, why not help us to realize even more? We are interested in cooperating with everybody that thinks our work is important.
