13. Town Twinning - Douzelage International
The Douzelage movement was the brainchild of the Granville and
Sherborne Twinning Associations in 1989. Delegates of the twelve
founder members, one for each European Community member state,
met in 1991 in Granville to sign the charter formally bringing Douzelage
into existence.
The aims of the Douzelage are to promote and foster the spirit of Europe
and to establish among others educational, economic, tourist, sporting
and cultural links between the towns for the mutual benefit of the
inhabitants thereof.
The name is a combination of douze for twelve and jumelage for
twinning, and although the number of member states and the number of
our member towns has grown in the meantime, as the EU is sticking to
its twelve stars, so we are sticking to our douze.
14. The original 12 founder members were:
Altea, Spain Bad Kötzting, Germany Bellagio, Italy
•
Bundoran, Ireland Granville, France Holstebro, Denmark
• Houffalize, Belgium Meerssen, Netherlands Niederanven, Luxembourg
Preveza, Greece Sesimbra, Portugal Sherborne, United Kingdom
Towns that joined later are:
Karkkila, Finland - 1997 Oxelösund, Sweden - 1998
Judenburg, Austria - 1999
In a first step of further expansion, 5 new towns joined the Douzelage in harmony
with the European enlargement process:
Chojna, Poland - 2004 Kőszeg, Hungary - 2004
Sigulda, Latvia - 2004 Sušice, Czech Republic - 2004
Türi, Estonia – 2004

19. as a device, town twinning is modular. It has
been taken up and used by numerous different
interest groups, in numerous different historical
and geographical contexts, with numerous
different ends in mind.
20. town twinning is not some quaint pastime of a
bygone post-war era, but is something current,
something contemporary, something of recently
growing incidence – and probably, therefore, of
recently growing importance as well.

who lives in Aberfeldy, near the Scottish village, was on a cycling holiday in the US. She
passed through Boring, and immediately phoned her friend, Emma Burtles, a resident of
Dull, with an idea to link the two communities together."
