That's twinning

 That is town twinning

Getting to know and understand each other better - that was the original idea for town twinning that emerged in Europe shortly after the Second World War. Today, the initiative brings together towns and municipalities from all over Europe and ensures that their citizens are closely connected.

Town twinning offers the chance to find out more about everyday life in other European countries, to talk to each other and share experiences, and to work together on projects of common interest.

Town twinning is widely supported by the population and is therefore an essential contribution to the development of European citizenship. The European Commission supports this by providing grants for events with educational content on topical European issues.

The classic aims of international town links are: International understanding, youth exchange, economic promotion, scientific cooperation, cultural exchange.
