Task Group EnergyA partnership was initiated between Urumqi Middle School No. 8 and Internationale Heidelberg Gesamtschule (IGH) with a focus on energy conservation education. Eight students age 16 to 18 from Urumqi and their teacher visited Heidelberg in May 2009; the return visit took place in September 2010. Training materials in Chinese were provided for the KlimaNet website, a virtual classroom, with educational material funded by the Ministry of Environment of the German State of Baden-Württemberg.
