  • The ‘Jumelage’ with Avranches
    About
    On Wednesday 23 June 1982 the Parish of St Helier became formally ‘twinned’ with the town of Avranches in Normandy, France, for the purpose of cultural, educational and social exchanges.

  • The ‘Partnerschaft’ with Bad Wurzach
    About
    In September 1941 Britain detained German civilians working in Iran which angered Hitler, who immediately retaliated by issuing an order demanding that British-born citizens living in the Channel Islands be detained. By the end of 1942, over 2000 Islanders had been transported to Germany with over 600 being taken to Bad Wurzach. On 28 April 1945 those interned at Bad Wurzach were freed by French troops. Over the years many visits by surviving internees have taken place, and even student exchange programmes, leading to the formal ‘twinning’ in 2002 as a sign of reconciliation.

  • The ‘Geminação’ with Funchal
    About
    Jersey has been home to thousands of Madeiran people, the first having arrived after the Second World War looking for work in agriculture and tourism. A Friendship Agreement was signed in 1998 by the Bailiff and the President of Madeira, with the twinning being formally created at Easter 2012.
