The emphasis is put on teaching activities that will enhance the capabilities of youngsters and teachers from secondary schools concerning the efficient use of energy and the promotion of Renewable Energy Sources. The authors present their results of designing, experimenting, assessing and transferring an innovative approach to energy education in secondary schools that is expected to enhance the content of curricula and to renew the pedagogical methodology.
