Fort Worth, TX – Sister Cities partners on Russian project

Fort Worth Sister Cities International, in partnership with the Center for Citizens Initiatives (CCI) and the Women’s Policy Forum of Fort Worth, will welcome four Russian women to Fort Worth later this month for an educational mission.

“Discussions between our two peoples are critical at this time.  Cultural understanding and respect of our differences can only be achieved through open and honest dialogue,” said Sharon Tennison, President of CCI.

Facilitated discussions with community leaders, educators and officials will provide multiple points of view and allow for honesty in a world that is controlled by social media.

The philosophy behind the discussions that will be held are:

• To identify similarities and differences between cultures
• To explore the sources of conflict that divide us
• To highlight issues that are most important
• To define ways to promote better understanding and respect for differences

Fort Worth Sister Cities plans to continue these kinds of dialogues in the future to fulfill our mission of promoting Fort Worth globally and enriching our local community with international education, exchange and commerce, all to create a more peaceful and prosperous world.
