With it’s 3500 twinnings Germany is European Champion. Despite nation wide trend, which indicates that despite a (slow) growing number of twinnings less and less young people become enthusiastic about this form of cultural exchange, Helmstedt’s Society for Twinnings and International Exchange emphasises more and more on youth exchange.

Beside „common understandig of nations from the base“ our Society for Twinnings emphasises noticeably on facilitating international exchange of young people from Helmstedt and young people from the twin towns, but not only.

For this reason we assist and foster Helmstedt’s schools on the occasion of visits to our twin towns and on the occasion of reception of groups from there and initiate and organise further diverse international youth exchanges.

Evidence of this increased commitment is also our concern to promote our projects through new – youth specific – media.

We are happy about the many intensive exchanges in the past and in the oncomming year.
