The City of Coral Gables has been building and strengthening partnerships with international communities since 1957 through the Sister Cities International Program. The goal of the program is to create educational and cultural exchanges between Sister Cities with a similar Mediterranean character.
On July 15th at the Annual Award Ceremony held at the historic Warsaw Theater during the 50th Annual Sister Cities International Conference in Washington D.C., Coral Gables received the Best Overall Program Award for the City's continued success in building international relationships.
Coral Gables took home this prestigious award in recognition of the City's efforts, experience and continued success in promoting citizen diplomacy, networking and partnerships between the U.S. and international communities.
The City has a long standing reputation and is now being recognized for years of work building global partnerships, promoting citizen diplomacy, and establishing an international cultural exchange. Recently Coral Gables came to the rescue of their Sister City Cartagena, Colombia when one of its fine arts colleges was unable to pay for much needed musical instruments.The Coral Gables Sister City Program is administered by the Development Department and the City's International Affairs Coordinating Council, a group of volunteer residents for the purpose of enhancing international relations. The cities are:
Aix-en Provence, France
Cartagena, Colombia
Granada, Spain
La Antigua, Guatemala
Province of Pisa, Italy
