The Clarksville Sister Cities Initiative began in January 1998 when a group of interested members of the Clarksville community joined together to seek an overseas community with which to affiliate. Clarksville now has two Sister Cities - one in England and one in France. We are building new friendships and new understanding of people, not only in these two countries but all over the world.

What sorts of things do Sister Cities groups do?

Our Sister Cities initiative can provide opportunities for:

• Our citizens to build personal relationships through youth and adult exchange visits and participation in social and cultural opportunities.
  
  
• Municipal and community problem solving through projects that connect our business, government and community leaders with their counterparts in another country.
  
  
• Engaging our students and adults in international affairs through cross-cultural experiences, and citizen diplomacy.
  
  
• Greater understanding of others' culture, history and government.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Clarksville Sister Cities Association is educational, cultural, and social. We hope to encourage the people of Clarksville and Southern Indiana to acquire a consciousness of people of similar cities in foreign countries, and to understand each other as individuals, as community members, and as part of the family of nations.
