Project Details

Project Name: ENI Scuola http://www.eniscuola.net/percorsi.aspx

Brief description of the initiative/project Eniscuola is a joint project between Eni and Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei which began in the year 2000 to give young people the information needed to familiarise with the world of energy and the environment, and to prompt eco-sustainable behaviour through multimedia tools, interaction and the use of internet. Eni Scuola has become a reference point at national level thanks to its joint action with regional school authorities and the direct contact with primary and secondary schools and is well known for its past history in the fields of energy and the environment. Furthermore, Eni Scuola participates to the most important Italian scientific and cultural venues and is supported by many international organisations such as UNESCO and EU.

During 2007 almost 4 million pages were spread over more than 100 countries; 15000 students logged on the website for an insight of topics regarding energy and the environment through the e-learning platform.

Brief description of the adopted methodology SWOT ANALYSIS: STRENGHTS

The e-learning platform was developed by the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei for the project "Energy and the Environment in Schools", based on the fact that non-stop development in communication technology has brought new education models. The platform is easily accessible, well organised, clear, composed of solid scientific documentation, flexible and well supported. The courses deal with energy and environment problems through the use of multimedia material and texts as teaching tools and means of scientific dissemination. The courses now available are 6 and will be implemented during the year and divided into different levels of difficulty.

SWOT ANALYSIS: OPPORTUNITIES

Last year the project promoted sustainable growth in schools supplying them with teaching tools based on ICT. Under the teacher’s supervision the students improved their knowledge of problems regarding the environment and acquired a deeper insight of those affecting our planet as well as those involving more specific local situations.
