In 2019 we built the foundation for our Twin City Lab activities. We started with a Twin City BarCamp in Minsk for an exchange of best practices, development of new formats as well as screening and mapping the twin city landscape.

In 2020 we published our digital toolbox, to provide you with innovative projects, guides, tutorials and insights.

In 2021 the Twin City Lab continues its work, initially with a focus on Belarus, Germany, Russia and Ukraine – thanks to the support and funding by the Foreign Federal Office.

In addition to that, we’re also lucky to have these amazing partners, helping us with their expertise and networks:
