This is seen as the best contribution to peace in our world and it does not always require formal agreements, such as a town twinning or a city friendship, for good friendly encounters.
The city of Wolfsburg enjoys a large number of international contacts.
It is open to all international relations and pursues them according to the motto "The world as a guest with friends".
Cooperation with the partner and friendship cities is often not only at an official level. Exchanges should also be fostered and promoted, particularly in the areas of youth, education, culture and sport. In addition, involvement in the area of municipal development cooperation is being expanded.
Activities and meetings of Wolfsburg associations, schools and institutions with facilities in the partner and friendship cities of the city of Wolfsburg can be supported in accordance with the funding guidelines.
In order to meet the growing demands of globalization, the "International Circle of Friends of Wolfsburg e. V." was founded on 29.03.2006 to support the city of Wolfsburg in expanding and maintaining its international relations.
In particular, the aim is to strengthen and promote Wolfsburg's image and reputation as an international, open and future-oriented city.
