The lecture Roman Roads – An Example of Intelligent Energy Use was delivered as an interactive presentation supported by a PowerPoint slideshow, with particular emphasis on the active participation of attendees. The primary objective of the activity was to introduce children to the concept of rational and sustainable energy use through a historical case study, while encouraging critical reflection on contemporary approaches to the utilisation of energy resources.
In addition to the theoretical component, participants took part in a workshop during which they engaged in discussion, expressed their views, and related the acquired knowledge to their own everyday experiences. Particular emphasis was placed on experiential learning and practical application. Pupils completed a series of tasks using specially designed worksheets that were developed and adapted to their age group and level of prior knowledge. The worksheets included reading comprehension exercises, concept-matching activities, and problem-solving tasks focusing on energy conservation and the efficient use of energy resources. Through these activities, participants strengthened their logical reasoning, collaborative skills, and independent critical thinking.
Alongside raising awareness of the importance of responsible environmental stewardship, the activity also incorporated elements of cultural heritage education, with particular emphasis on the Roman road that has been preserved in the immediate vicinity of the school. As the children are already familiar with this archaeological site and frequently encounter its remains, the local heritage context significantly enhanced their understanding of the topic and enabled them to connect the educational content with their immediate environment.
The interactive teaching approach, together with the combination of diverse pedagogical methods, proved highly effective in fostering participants' engagement and motivation. Overall, the activity successfully contributed to raising awareness of the importance of responsible energy use, environmental sustainability, and the value of local cultural heritage while promoting active learning and critical thinking.
