Short description:
With this project we want to introduce our students with the Green Computing as a major leap in mitigating environmental pollution and the impacts of climate change. We want our students to understand that Sustainable Development is connected to Green Computing. Green computing is an important aspect of discussions involving environmental protection, green energy, climate change and sustainable development and the common goal is to practice and achieve eco-friendly deployment and use of ICT in the society. Furthermore, the Green Computing is a driver of Sustainable Development because its practices and principles focus on a cleaner, safer and sustainable environment that promote the wellbeing of mankind and our planet. Apart from the introducing to the main topic of the project, this project will provide our students the development of English language skills and efficient use of technology for collaboration between partner schools.
