Students from Germany are visiting York County as part of the York Twinning international linkup that has been in play since the 1950s.
Here are some facts about York Twinning that appeared with the recent York Daily Record/Sunday News story about the visit:
“York has two twin cities: Arles, France and Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany.
“Student exchanges between York and Leinfelden-Echterdingen began in 1981, and exchanges with Arles have been going on since 1954, according to the York Twinning Association.
“Adult exchanges take place too, on a rotating basis, said Catherine Fillmore, with the twinning association. Next year, French adults will visit York, and the year after, York area residents will visit France.”
