Introduction

A group of seven communities join a Professional Good Practice Exchange Programme organised by Embrace Cooperation to the Green heart of Germany.

During their visit, they discover different renewable sites with significance importance and are inspired by a large scale of city network. They also have the opportunity to gain first- hand experience of how Germany has gone about their renewable energy technologies, focusing on powering and heating their local communities.

As we fly into Frankfurt, we were being delivered to Suhl straight away by taxi. Once we arrived at the guest house, our accommodation, we were starting to enjoy our first dinner in there and relax afterward.

We are a guest of a training College (Bildungs-Center Sudthuringen, BCS) that located in the Central of Germany, in the region of Thuringen. For Shul, it is in the Thuringen Forest known as the green heart of Germany and it is a UNESCO Biosphere area.
