December 2-10, 2022

Münster, Saerbeck, Düsseldorf

An international learning exchange to share best practices in clean energy and building more welcoming communities. 

North Rhine-Westphalia calls itself the “diversity state” due to its rural, industrial, and multi-culture population. The state has multiple communities involved with the international exchange with communities from Minnesota, Climate Smart Municipalities, and are leaders in developing clean energy initiatives at a local level.

United Cultures was created to build a thriving and welcoming community for residents in St. James. Its goal is to create a culture of inclusion by providing spaces to grow through sharing, learning, and collaboration and remove barriers to equal opportunities.

This delegation is made possible through support provided by the BUSH Foundation.
