The city of Salzgitter has four twin towns abroad: Créteil (France), Imatra (Finland), Swindon (United Kingdom) and Staryj Oskol (Russia).

For many years, we from the Municipal Children and Youth Development Department have been visiting our twin towns with groups of young people from Salzgitter. There we meet groups of young people of the same age who usually visit us in Salzgitter in return. In youth encounters, we experience a varied program together (including excursions, games, fun and exercise) around the twin towns, their region and culture. We attach particular importance to informal exchanges and encounters with each other.

Since 2024, we have also been organizing educational group trips for teenagers and young adults to other EU countries.

Please get in touch if you are interested in a group trip, have an idea for a project or would like to volunteer in this area.

If you would like to gain experience abroad independently of our partner cities and a group from Salzgitter, you can also find advice on this from us. There are many ways to go abroad and various funding opportunities for your stay abroad.

Our employee Tamara Hagen is a trained Eurodesk mobility guide and will be happy to answer your questions.
