Last Thursday the City Council welcomed this year’s students and teachers from Windeck Gymnasium Bühl. This partnership has been in place for 39 years!

Olaf, one of the teachers and who is staying with Mayor Finken, said this program Is a “wonderful gift and can never be repeated or recaptured later, not as a student, not a worker or as a tourist – it’s a unique possibility…Genuine partnership begins with personal encounters and intercultural friendships develop on the basis of trust and tolerance – in keeping with this year’s motto “building friendships across the ocean.”

Thank you to this year’s group for visiting Melrose and continuing this tradition.
