Street Twinning (so far streets in Sheffield, Esteli and
Melbourne)
Street twinning is like town twinning but on a much more intimate
scale. Residents of three places get to know each other by organising events
such as street parties, exchanging greetings and gifts. The twinning of Freedom
Rd in Sheffield, the barrio Monte Sinai in Esteli in Nicaragua, and Dundas Place
in Melbourne, Australia started in 2006 with workshops, fundraising events and
street parties in all three places on 10 June.
