A group of Electrical Engineering students, attending the MCAST Gozo Centre, recently visited Lüdenscheid, Germany, on a Life-Long Learning project entitled ‘Sustainability in the New Europe – Ambassadors for Sustainability.’

This project aims to get together learning communities from different parts of Europe to work together on sustainability and renewable energy issues.

The foreign partners involved in this project include Glasgow Kelvin College, Lüdenscheid’s Berufskölleg für Technik des Markishen Kreises and Groningen’s Alfa College.

In the first year of this project, students from each participating college will analyse their respective country. This will include conducting research on government set targets, strategies, policies and good practices focusing on energy and water conservation, renewable energy and electromobility.

During the international meetings the students will share and discuss their good practices with all members of the participating countries. A similar meeting, held in Gozo, involved presentations delivered by Eco-Gozo officials.

The group visited Alfa College, in the Netherlands, during their stay in Germany, where they had the opportunity of meeting the College CEO and International Co-ordinator. The students also participated in several industrial visits organised by the German host college. These included a visit to Spelsberg GmbH, a leading manufacturer of generic and specialised electrical junction boxes, distribution boards, boxes and fire-resistant electrical encasements.

The programme also included a visit to the Phänomenta Science Museum in Ludenscheid and a cultural visit to the Cologne Cathedral.
