The story of a unique partnership

Notodden in Norway and Suwalki in Poland 2008 - 2011

“When you go abroad and then come back home, you always find yourself changed some way or another. You look at yourself differently and you look at the people you visited differently. This is what happened when Suwalki and Notodden met”, state Lise Wiik, mayor of Notodden and Suwalki’s president Czeslaw Renkiewicz in a brochure that documents the partnership between their cities.

“We would like to show you what our cities are like and how we live; some nice sites you might like to visit, and what we have in common despite our differences. But first of all it is a booklet, a small narrative on our symbolic and practical exchange. How we have learnt to know each other and what we see as possible options of action in the future.”

To get an overview of the Allianz that connects Suwalki and Notodden since 2008 take a look at the attached multilingual brochure. It tells the story of a unique partnership.
