On Wednesday 17 February 2021 Derby and Osnabrück will celebrate 45 years of twinning.

To celebrate this milestone, the Twinning Office in Osnabrück are creating a special anniversary magazine, with the citizens of Osnabrück and Derby, filled with your stories and experiences of the twinned cities, and Derby residents are invited to submit their own entries. These can be anything from photos, cartoons, art, poetry, short stories, personal experiences and much more!

What about creating, for example:

  • A story about your visit to Derby/Osnabrück?
  • A poem about the twinning?
  • A drawing or a photo of a cultural artefact from Derby/Osnabrück and a short description?

The magazine will be published online and in print and include entries from citizens of Derby and Osnabrück, translated into English and German. The deadline for submitting entries is the date of the twinning anniversary: Wednesday 17 February 2021.

The Derby Ambassador Zoë Chaffey is looking forward to receiving your ideas:
