What we want to achieve in 2011?

New w Haven Sister Cities (NHSC) will be celebrating it's 30th anniversary of incorporation in July.  We have ambitious goals of bringing New Haven closer to it's seven sister cities. New Haven is an international city with a lot to offer - the main goal should be to find ways to revive again the international youth exchange programs that declined in the years following 9/11.  There is a lot to do for all individuals and organizations that would like to collaborate. NHSC is open for new contacts - First step : Like us on Facebook - it's just one click, than partner with us by signing up here... You will get your Own Web Page where you can post your ideas on how to strengthen the old ties New Haven has to it's Sister Cities and how to build new ones. 



What the Sister Cities are all about?

People from around the World are explaining that - great introduction for those unfamiliar with the idea.

SCI Board Member Carlo Capua talks about the impact Sister Cities International has has on his life and career.
