Welcome
to the website of the Stockton Sister Cities
Association!
Sister
Cities International is a nonprofit citizen
diplomacy network creating and strengthening
partnerships between U.S. and international
communities in an effort to increase global
cooperation at the municipal level, to promote
cultural understanding and to stimulate
economic development. Sister Cities International
leads the movement for local community development
and volunteer action by motivating and empowering
private citizens, municipal officials and
business leaders to conduct long-term programs
of mutual benefit. We believe that sister
city programs involve two-way communication
and should mutually benefit partnering communities.
OUR
GOALS ARE TO:
*
Develop municipal partnerships between U.S.
cities, counties, and states and similar
jurisdictions in other nations.
* Provide opportunities for city officials
and citizens to experience and explore other
cultures through long-term community partnerships.
* Create an atmosphere in which economic
and community development can be implemented
and strengthened.
* Stimulate environments through which communities
will creatively learn, work, and solve problems
together through reciprocal cultural, educational,
municipal, business, professional and technical
exchanges and projects.
* Collaborate with organizations in the
United States and other countries which
share similar goals. |
