Cooperations

For the sake of the future

Mobility and environment

The Automotive Technology Higher Secondary School works independently but not alone. We maintain close cooperation with the automotive trade guild, with whom we jointly develop training, instruction and education concepts. In this way, we promote the close integration of company and school learning.

We also cooperate with other partners in the industry. We are organized together with the Technical University of Berlin in the "Mobility2Grid" association, which is a research cluster that researches the mobility and transport concepts of the future. We have close ties to the Berlin University of Applied Sciences, which not only offers our graduates a connection to the qualification program, but has also qualified some of our teachers.

With our communication and information technology, we are able to meet all requirements and with our environmental concept we also place great value on sustainability in waste disposal. We also develop the social skills of our students by involving them in this process. For example, there is not only the usual waste separation in the school building, but also regular cleaning services by school classes. The following measures underline our school's ambitions in environmental protection.

In our cooperation with municipal waste disposal companies, we ensure that environmental protection and sustainability are reflected in our daily activities.

Waste separation/cleaning

In the "Living Space School" model, the entire school premises will be cleaned by our school classes on a daily basis starting with the 2012/13 school year (school premises cleaning plan pdf button). The cleaning of the school premises in the last block will be expanded to include the removal of large rubbish (cups, bags, boxes) in the corridors/stairwells.

All rooms in the OSZ Kfz-Technik are equipped with a waste separation system (paper, packaging, residual waste).

Battery collection containers are located in the departmental collections, in the teachers' room, in the secretariat, in the e-mobility workshop and in the IT preparation area (www.grs-batterien.de).

The disposal of energy-saving lamps/neon tubes is carried out by Veolia GmbH.

The environmentally friendly disposal of scrap metal is carried out by the certified company Fehr.

Recycling/electronic waste

All data storage media (CDs, DVDs, etc.) are collected in special containers and sent to a specialist disposal company (www.blueboxx.info). The value of the collected data storage media is donated to the association for children with cancer in Hanover. The collection containers are located in the teachers' room and in the IT collection.

Used toner cartridges and ink cartridges are collected in special containers and sent to a specialist disposal company (Collect GmbH, Industriepark 1, 77955 Ettenheim). The collection containers are located in the teachers' room and in the IT collection.

The disposal of IT equipment (PCs, monitors, printers, e-waste) is carried out by Veolia GmbH.

procurement

When purchasing IT equipment, care is taken to ensure that it has an on/off switch so that it does not have any apparent consumption. Energy-saving Intel Nuc PCs with a power consumption of just 20 watts are used in the computer rooms.
