Building bridges has been woven into the DNA of Sister Cities since its founding in 1956. Diversity and inclusion, two widely discussed topics in the post-COVID world, are byproducts of practically every SCI program. Cross-cultural programs have the ability of bringing countries, cultures, and people together in the spirit of friendship – nobody does it better than Sister Cities.
