Applications are open until February 10th.

If you have an idea for a project or activity that will strengthen Cork’s relations with its international twinned cities, Cork City Council wants to hear about it.

The Council is inviting applications from interested organisations keen to celebrate our links with Cologne, Coventry, Rennes, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Swansea.

Speaking ahead of the launch of this year’s grant, Lord Mayor Cllr Deirdre Forde said: “The twinning grant has funded a vibrant range of activities over the years, which have served to enhance and deepen our sporting, cultural, educational and people-to-people links internationally.

“I would encourage interested organisations to reach out to our international relations team and submit an application”.

Applications must be submitted online here. The closing date for submission of application forms is no later than 5pm, Friday, February 10th, 2023.

Cork City Council’s International Relations team is on hand to answer any questions on the application process and can be reached by emailing international_relations@corkcity.ie.
