It has been performed in coordination with Regional Energy Management Agency in Zilina and supported by the Children of Slovakia Foundation. 16 secondary schools and 2 primary schools from Zilina and Trencin region participated in the realization of the project.

Results
The project "Let's Learn to Save" aimed to increase ecological thinking among young students, to increase the rational attitude to energy, to increase the self-confidence according to solve a problem in hierarchy of positionand at the same time to learn to work in team. The students showed an interest in the project and they showed that they care about the environment.
The students had extra work to acquisition data of energy and to follow the habits of their schoolmates. The self activity and team work by the students gave a good result. The students found out the relation between economy and energy and they showed ambition to limit the energy use at school. The project organisers assume that this ambition will spread in their sphere of families and friends.
