About project

The goal of the project is to raise awareness among small local communities about the need for the transformation of hard coal and lignite mining, as well as to promote new visions for the development of mining regions. The project’s activities will include educational elements such as organizing meetings and workshops addressing the transformation and conversion of mining regions into sustainable development centers, cross-sector cooperation with representatives of local authorities and businesses, and media campaigns engaging society in the project’s themes through various forms of dialogue with stakeholders of a just transition in small mining municipalities.
