Durham, England

The partnership with Durham County in England has existed since 1969. The impulse was given by the Kepler-Gymnasium in Tübingen, who organized an exchange program for teenagers, and through which young people from County Durham come to Tübingen and vice versa every year.

The Carlo-Schmid-Gymnasium has also maintained an internal school exchange for decades; a multitude of associations, clubs and orchestras support the friendship as well. New technology has been established in Durham since 1993 which offers the chance to transfer technologies between the two partner towns.
