Exhibition - Tempe Sister Cities: 50 Years of Citizen Diplomacy

The exhibit celebrates 50 years of Tempe Sister Cities "Bringing the World Together - one friendship at a time." Tempe became the first American city to partner with a city behind the Iron Curtain when it initiated its inaugural student exchange with Skopje, Yugoslavia (present North Macedonia) in 1972. Since then, 10 cities from five continents joined the Tempe Sister Cities program in cross-cultural efforts to build friendships between people and communities.

The exhibition is a partnership between the Tempe History Museum, Tempe Sister Cities, the ASU Melikian Center, and ASU Library volunteers.
