In July 2018, the Caen-Portsmouth Friendship Committee and the Duisburg-Portsmouth Friendship Committee merged to form the (Portsmouth) European Cities Twinning Committee.
This new committee could provide the launch system for any future twinning links with other European cities, should there ever be any.
We will continue to present information pertaining to Duisburg on this website and information pertaining to Caen on the Caen-Portsmouth website.
2020 onwards during lockdown...
We launched a new virtual twinning blog entitled 'Building Bridges' with the aim of linking culture and arts in our twin cities.
On this blog page, there will be featured cultural and artistic aspects of Caen, Portsmouth and Duisburg. They will be updated regularly as new information is submitted.
