SPARE educational material is aimed at pupils aged 8-15, and is developed by environmental NGOs and teachers through more than 10 years of active use in schools. The main implementation strategy is adaptation of teacher guides and methodologies for each country, as well as training of teachers. Teacher training is often made in cooperation with institutions for retraining of teachers.

School activities have proven to be an efficient channel for energy information and promoting energy efficiency in households. On the basis of SPARE, national NGO coordinators, schools and other partners cooperate for development and implementation of simple low cost energy efficiency and renewable energy measures at schools and in private homes.

SPARE has many partners in different countries, from ministries of education and environment, institutes for retraining of teachers, local administrations, UNDP and other local donors and organizations. You are welcome to join in as partners in promoting sustainable energy!
