This document describes an exchange program between students in Ibbenbüren, Germany and Aliveri, Greece. The program is titled "Cities of Black Coal - Looking for a New Light" and will take place from November 3-9, 2019. It provides background information on the two participating schools and cities. Aliveri was formerly dependent on lignite mining and a power plant, but has transitioned to renewable energy including wind power as those industries have declined. The program aims to have the students explore how their cities have dealt with energy transitions from traditional fossil fuels to more sustainable sources.
