Sister Cities of Nashville Wins Two Top Awards

We're thrilled to report that Sister Cities of Nashville has won two awards in Sister Cities International's 2019 Annual Awards competition, open to 500+ member cities. We won the Innovation Award for Arts & Culture (for population over 100,000) for our "Nashville in Belfast" festival and our nominee for the Youth Leadership Award -- Olivia Connor -- also won. The awards were presented at the Sister Cities International Annual Conference in Houston, Texas in July.

In November, The Tennessee Foreign Language Teachers Association will honor Sister Cities of Nashville at its annual conference with its Friends of Foreign Language Award for our work in promoting global connections and endeavors.
