What is twinning?
You'll see the signs naming our twin towns every time you enter the city - but what does it mean, and why do we do it?
Twin city links give people the chance to engage with other cultures and ways of life, and make these experiences more accessible through established contacts and networks in the linked cities.
They also bring benefit to cities through knowledge-sharing activities, where people can learn from how problems are tackled in other countries, exchange ideas and understand different viewpoints.
