Utilization of Renewable Energy Resources (RES) and Energy Efficiency (EE) together with Environment protection (EP) are topics which are presently a world wide trend. Unfortunately those topics are not popular because of their attractiveness to the students but due to real necessity of their implementation to prevent negative influence of industrial development and more and more obvious climate changing.Many EU projects were dedicated to above mentioned topics and the most common conclusion is - There is HUGE necessity of arising of awareness for utilization of cleaner energy and to safe energy as much as possible with the most suitable target group - children from primary schools. Also that can be noticed from many previous attempts to approach with importance of RES, EE and EP closer to mentioned target group is that there was only randomly applied projects without strategical approach which will be focused on the learning about RES, EE and EP since the youngest age. Municipality of Kochani and Municipality of Pazardzik decided to make one innovative approach for their youngest inhabitants - students in Primary schools by developing a Strategic partnership through preparation of "Strategy for development of education cooperation between schools from Kochani and Pazardzik". Also proposed project is forecasting training of teachers from 2 (two) Pilot Primary schools from Program Countries (Macedonia and Bulgaria) in development of innovative teaching methods for implementing of renewable resources, energy efficiency and environmental protection, on adequate way in accordance with students age. Teacher’s training will be supported by experts from Macedonia and Bulgarian NGO’s from Kochani and Pazardzik who have a large experience in utilization of RES, EE and EP as well as great practical experience in implementation of Open Education Resources (OER) in educational purposes. Main project objective is to create strategic partnership for school education between Kocani and Pazardzhik through preparation of Strategy for development of education and training teachers from 2 (two) primary schools from Program Countries ( Macedonia and Bulgaria) in development of innovative teaching methods for renewable resources, energy efficiency and environmental protection. The other specific objectives of the project will be: Provide teachers with practical ideas for how they can incorporate RES and EE resources into their existing lessons; Familiarize teachers with current Web 2.0 and Internet trends; Giving a space for exchange of experiences and good practices among teachers coming from different countries who work in the same field; Improving teamwork skills through the use of ICT and RES and EE resources; Sharing of best practice in teaching and learning.
