Many
cities in Indiana have established long term relationships with
a sister city in Germany. The Indiana German Heritage Society
supports and encourages these relationships. |
Why Sister Cities?
 |
It allows the city officials and citizens of both cities to experience and grow to understand another culture and develop friendships. |
|
It stimulates education, exchanges in the arts, and encourages tourism. It also provides economic opportunities. |
|
Persons of different cultures learn to work and solve problems together on municipal, business, technological, and professional levels. |
|
It creates people-to-people connections. |
