bringing towns togetherTown-twinning today goes way beyond the traditional exchange of students or choirs. Twinning can also lead to an exchange of technical know-how and be a real asset for local economic development just as for the promotion of active citizenship.

For this reason, INTACT project will establish a sustainable interregional network of towns, creating strong links between 20 partners from seven European countries. Via this network, the project partners – local authorities and NGOs – will exchange good practices and know-how to promote town-twinning and active European citizenship. Activities will be organised on local and international level, involving a large number of civil servants and other citizens.

INTACT’s main objectives ✓ establish an interregional network of towns: creation of sustainable links between partners; exchange of good practices and know-how to encourage innovative ways of decentralised cooperation;

✓ foster town twinning: exchange of technical know-how and twinning experiences; intensification of contacts between towns;

✓ foster active european citizenship: exchange of experiences; organisation of local and international activities to raise awareness;

✓ foster european integration: bringing together old and new EU member states as well as candidate countries in a common partnership, in the spirit of European values.

Activities ✓ Study visit in Croatia (2010) on decentralised cooperation and active citizenship;

✓ local events, in each partner municipality promoting twinning and active citizenship;

✓ International summer school in Strasbourg (2011) for young people from the partner countries on European identity and active citizenship;

✓ policy making meeting in brussels, for future twinning agreements.
