European Educational Concept in Environmental-, Nature- and Climate Protection to Safeguard a Cross Border Sustainable Development. Geothermal Education in the Course of the Erasmus+ Project

Abstract

In view of climate change and responding to political, economic and ecological challenges the number of “green” jobs are expected to rise. It will have an impact on the education and training process. The joint German – Hungarian – Polish – Romanian Project EUBILD-UNAKLIM (2016-1-DE02-KA204-003254) in the ERASMUS+ Founding Scheme designs an international adult-learning furthering education course. The main objective of the project was a creation of a curriculum concept in the topics of environmental-, nature-, and climate protection. The paper presents the research issues in the field of geoengineering and the use of renewable energy sources. The idea of the project is to open new chances on a future-oriented segment of the labor market for unemployed academic graduates, university dropouts and unemployed professionals, who have gained a multidisciplinary and yet very specific knowledge. Developed geothermal training letter will provide a broad understanding of geothermal energy utilization which will prove useful in the practice.
