The beginnings

Our meanwhile intensive relationship with the City and County of Sibiu started on December the 19th, 1989. A group of volunteers, municipal institutions, churches, companies, care institutions, educational institutions and the regional media elaborated a “help-project” that focused on the city of Sibiu. In order to facilitate and coordinate all actions, foundations were set up both in Deventer and Sibiu. Acitivities in the social and cultural field, as well as in the field of (local) government, education and economy contributed to the development of the region and the city of Sibiu.

The cooperation reached new dimensions and a wider scope when the further enlargement of the European Union with Central and Eastern European countries began. In The Netherlands, the programme “Municipal Collaboration for EU candidates”- conducted by the Union of Dutch Municipalities and funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – was started. It's focus was on the exchange of knowledge and expertise between local authorities in the Netherlands and those in the EU candidate countries. In addition to this, pilot projects were set up and implemented, funded from Deventer.

The following pictures show the beginning; the revolution in Sibiu and the first actions initiated in Deventer, resulting in the first aid transport to Sibiu during the dark period of December 1989 until end of January 1990.
