Aims

The principal aim of our Association, which is made up of people from many walks of life, is to further the good relationship between the towns of Huntingdon and Godmanchester, Salon-de-Provence, Wertheim am Main and Szentendre. Secondly, although it is not a Civic organisation, it is recognised by the two Town Councils, and can provide assistance and advice, based on personal experience, in dealing with our twin towns.
We try to meet these aims by attempting to break down barriers of language, traditions and ways of life, by encouraging the formation of friendships between the different nationalities, both by individuals and groups.
We believe that if we encourage these friendships between young people of our society, then perhaps those barriers will be broken down more easily, or maybe even not arise. We do our upmost to assist in any twinning exchange project which involve young people. In school exchanges we assist by providing bursaries for the less well-off, including visits by Youth Groups. As a prime example, we organise and sponsor, with financial support from our two Town Councils and local charities, the Youth Sports Festival held bi-annually in one of the twin towns.
To do all this requires more money. Therefore, our secondary aims are to raise cash by the annual fun raising projects, and also from any organisations willing to help.
