Focus on your target groups! Upgrade your Twinning Activities with Design Thinking!
Languages: English /
Workshop
Live Sessions
Building and establishing a city partnership with great impact can be challenging. Why are some offers better received than others? What new things can you offer your participants? User-centered innovation is a way of developing new offerings that are radically geared to the needs of your target group. The approach that makes this possible is called “Design Thinking,” which was developed in the 1970s and then first found its way into companies and startups. Today, people all over the world work with Design Thinking to create innovation in the fields of business, sustainability, democracy, health, or social services. In the three-part online training “Design Thinking” you will learn about this concept.

Collaboration online. Efficiently working together, anywhere
Languages: English /
Workshop
Video Content & Live Sessions
Since early 2020, many of us have gained new experiences working “remotely” at home or elsewhere away from the office, due to the constantly changing pandemic situation. For others, working together virtually is (and was) a necessity and “normal”, as they collaborate with colleagues or project partners from other cities or countries. Against this background, the topic of “virtual teams” and collaborating online is very relevant for many these days, and remote workers are often grateful for tips, methods, and tools. When it comes to city partnerships online collaboration plays a particularly important role, as there is not always time and opportunity to visit another city, especially when it is located at a great geographical distance abroad.

Die Zukunft der Städtepartnerschaften.Ideen zur Entwicklung und praktische Ausgestaltung.
Wie wurden Städtepartnerschaften bzw. Town Twinnings in der internationalen Zusammenarbeit in der Vergangenheit eingesetzt? Wie haben sich die Beziehungen entwickelt? Wie werden Partnerschaften gegenwärtig gestaltet? Und wie steht es um die Zukunftsperspektiven und Entwicklungschancen in den kommenden Jahren?
Diese Fragen diskutieren wir im Rahmen des nächsten TwinCafé mit Botschafter Dr. Hans-Jürgen Heimsoeth.
Будущее городов-побратимов. Идеи развития и практическая реализация

Как использовался инструмент городского партнерства или побратимства в международном сотрудничестве раньше? Как развивались отношения? Как в настоящее время строятся партнерские отношения? А как насчет перспектив и возможностей развития в ближайшие годы?
Мы обсудим эти вопросы с послом д-р Гансом-Юргеном Гаймзетом.
Looking for funding opportunities for Twin Cities
Languages: English /
Workshop
Video Content & Live Sessions
When you look for funding opportunities, what are the key parts that you pay attention to? The amount of funding or the topic of the opportunity? Or is it the technical requirements? Let’s look at the important parts of the fund application procedure and how to structure your project in a way that will facilitate the workflow. Cities can cooperate on many levels, the work should be designed with a deep understanding of the benefits, results, and responsibilities of each partner. Cooperation and synergy are two things that every good application is required to have. Why is the partnership in the project so important and how to make it work? What is the donor looking for?

Local Community Building for City Twinning projects
Languages: English /
Workshop
Video Content & Live Sessions
We go global, but at the same time, we seek locality. Those two poles are possible in local communities, which usually appear because of individual needs but can have a global impact. The city consists of diverse interlinking communities, which influence the social fabric of the city in different ways. While planning international cooperation you’re always taking into consideration traditions, rituals, or local community leaders. What is the community and what is not? How can you support the local development of your community through international partnership? How can you evaluate the success of a community? Сan community be explained through structures, or it is an unpredictable live system?

Art spaces and events for deeper Twin Cities connections
Languages: English /
Workshop
Video Content & Live Sessions
Our cities need spaces, where different people and opinions can meet and come out of their bubbles. They need spaces where one can face something unusual, but still, feel safe. Art spaces and art events are something that can have it all – diversity and cohesion, openness, and calling things by their names. Arts are bringing a lot of freedom in them which they are sharing with other people. When it comes to city partnerships, arts are something that can help us speak one language and exchange on controversial topics while working together. Cities can exchange their “secrets” and jointly raise their capacities. Art spaces, events, and urban festivals organized between the twin cities can be even more impactful getting a “stage” for the non-formal presentation of the city through arts. They can become a “showcase” for one city into the other one.
