Mission Statement
The Portland Bologna Sister City Association is a non-profit organization established to unite the Cities of Portland, Oregon and Bologna, Italy in a relationship dedicated to fostering social, economic and cultural exchange between their citizens, businesses and institutions. The Association is open to all citizens of Portland and supports a wide range of activities. We sponsor youth and educational exchanges, host and send official delegations, and facilitate cultural and economic exchanges. Because we believe in building relationships visitor by visitor, we are a resource to Bolognese coming to Portland as well as to Portlanders traveling to Bologna.
About This Cause
At first glance there are many things that the cities of Portland, Oregon and Bologna, Italy have in common, from central urban universities to a genuine concern for sustainability to a citizenry that holds a vivid love for life, education, family and food. The Portland Bologna Sister City Association seeks to create a synergy between the two cities that will benefit each city and foster greater understanding of the world in general among our citizens. To that end, the Association is involved in many activities both independently and in collaboration with other organizations. PBSCA hosts the KnowBo series of informal presentations about Bologna and it's surroundings approximately every other month. We are involved in University exchanges and collaboration between the University of Bologna, the oldest university in Europe, and several Oregon Universities. Every summer PBSCA participates in a Youth Exchange with the city of Bologna that alternates hosting Italian teens in Portland and taking Portland teens to Bologna. Finally, PBSCA hosts or participates in numerous social, educational and cultural events throughout the year that open the world of Bologna and Italy to the citizens of Portland.
