twinning association

 
After the Second world war in 1945, Sir Winston Churchill, the English Prime minister from 1939-1945 saw a future linking the communities of Europe. By encouraging people to overcome prejudices and break down barriers he thought another major war in Europe could be prevented. This idea was taken up and has lead to the many Twinning links we see today. From the first links with France and Germany Twinning has become a world wide activity.
 
Everyone who gets involved in Twinning has a lot of fun, Whatever your age or background, Twinning is an excellent way to meet new people, from abroad - and locally, through a Twinning Association.
