Atlanta Rio

The Sister Cities Program was launched in 1956 by President Eisenhower to further international understanding and friendship at all levels of the community on a continuing long term basis. Since its inception four decades ago, the Sister Cities Program has grown into the world’s largest international organization. In theme with Sister Cities International’s slogan, ” Peace Through People”, the City of Atlanta currently has forged sister city relationships with sixteen cities.

The spirit of the Sister Cities Program is expressed in the purpose of the Atlanta – Rio de Janeiro Sister City Committee: to facilitate increased contact and exchanges between the cities of Atlanta, Georgia and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This aim is based on a belief that greater interaction between the two cities will build on feelings of mutual goodwill.

O Programa Cidades Irmãs, foi lançado em 1956 pelo então Presidente Eisenhower para aumentar o entendimento e amizade internacional em todos os níveis com as comunidades em um termo de longa duração. Desde sua criação a 4 décadas atrás, o Programa Cidades Irmãs tornou-se a maior organização internacional do mundo. Seguindo o slogan internacional das Cidades Irmãs, “Paz Através das Pessoas”, a Cidade de Atlanta forjou relacionamentos de Cidade Irmã com dezesseis cidades do mundo.

O espírito do Programa das Cidades Irmãs é expressado no propósito do comitê das Cidades Irmãs Atlanta – Rio de Janeiro: facilitar o aumento do contato e trocas entre as cidades de Atlanta, Georgia e Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Esta intenção é baseada na crença de que a grande interação entre as duas cidades será construída sobre um sentimento de mútua amizade. A Fundação Atlanta Rio foi fundada em 2008 para concretizar esse projeto de cooperação e amizade entre as cidades.
