In different countries there are different needs, different technologies and a different awareness for the issues "consumption and waste of resources and energy". We want to exchange our educational and scientific knowledge and methods handling the question regarding these topics. Based on these different conditions and experiences in teaching we want to create a "European resource and energy curriculum". In this curriculum we want to show which competences students need to recognize the problems of consumption and waste of resources and energy and how awareness for sustainable development can be created.
