EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by photographer Jonathan Barker, we are transported back to the summer of 1991 in St Austell, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of young people from Restormel District Council's twin area Dithmarschen, Germany, as they gather together before bidding farewell and boarding their coach home. The vibrant scene is filled with an air of camaraderie and excitement. Clad in matching track suits that proudly display their Cornish and German heritage, these youths represent the power of cultural exchange and friendship fostered through twinning programs. Their beaming smiles reflect the bonds forged during the First Official Exchange Week between these two communities. As they stand beside their trusty bus - a symbol of shared experiences and adventures - one cannot help but admire the dedication shown by both local government councils involved in nurturing such connections. This snapshot serves as a testament to the importance placed on international relations at a grassroots level. Through this candid moment frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into the transformative impact that twinning initiatives can have on individuals' lives. It reminds us that despite geographical distances or language barriers, common interests can unite us all. Let this photograph serve as an inspiration for future generations to continue fostering global friendships and understanding within our diverse world.
