In a scheme called Global Solar Partners, 50 Scottish secondary schools = will each join with a partner school world-wide to work together on = solar-related projects during 1999. We are inviting teachers around the = world to nominate teams aged between 11 and 18 from the science, design = technology, art, geography and business studies curriculum areas to = register for the project.

During the project (which is sponsored by BP Amoco), teams will receive = educational support. This may include research materials, solar = investigation kit, access to communication facilities if available or = support from a solar "mentor" or BP Solar engineer.=20

The finished partner projects will be displayed as part of a Solar Youth = Exposition at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow = on May 1st and 2nd, 2000. This event will run in parallel with the 16th = European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition. Selected = partnership teams (and their teachers) who have produced the most = interesting projects will be invited to Glasgow for the event, with = support from Global Solar Partners. The teams will present their work at = the exposition and take part in the Solar Youth Summit and Solar Energy = Conference. Material from selected projects will also be displayed on = the BP Solar and Science Across the World Web sites.=20
