Twin towns

The objective of establishing twin town agreements is:

• To support learning, democracy and cooperation

• To further intercultural understanding and build friendships across cultures

• To launch valuable experiences to citizens

• To facilitate development through openness and knowledge sharing 

The Municipality of Jammerbugt focuses on three levels regarding twin town agreements:

• The political and official level

• The international level: Exchange visits, social intercourse, experiences, communication, joint learning, sports, events, cooperation between associations, and cooperation on tourism.
