Description & Guide

Twinning

Eurosite Twinning provides a framework for two or more organisations to commit to work together on predefined, mutually agreed objectives. Twinning is an ideal mechanism to create and provide personal development opportunities for site management staff, and to establish strategic level cooperation between linked organisations. The twinning partners decide the purpose, content and duration of their joint-work. Working with Eurosite, twinning provides you with a way to:

• Negotiate and agree joint-working objectives, which will be mutually beneficial;
• Discuss and plan activities;
• Measure what you plan to do with what you achieve;
• Help to assure the quality of nature conservation practices and methods;
• Communicate your twinning activities within your own organisation;
• Promote your work/ site/ organisation to an international audience;
• Attach a European dimension to your work, which can be valuable to increase funding opportunities.
