Best Practices Round Table
Exciting news! Sister Cities International has invited the Highland Park Sister Cities Foundation to join a virtual Round Table highlighting award-winning programs from across the globe!
We’re proud to represent Highland Park as the 2024 winner of the Best Overall Program (for cities under 100,000 population).
This event is all about sharing best practices and celebrating the power of people-to-people connections—something we’re deeply passionate about.
With 1,800+ partnerships in 138 countries, SCI’s mission aligns perfectly with ours: building bridges through friendship, cultural exchange, and collaboration.
Stay tuned—we’re honored to be part of the conversation!



Trip to Yerucham
We’re beyond excited that Fran Sherman, co-concertmaster of the Highland Park Strings and a dear friend of HPSCF, recently visited our sister city, Yerucham, Israel! During her visit, she connected with Shahaf, the director of the Yerucham Music Conservatory, to explore exciting possibilities for future musical exchanges. Stay tuned for more harmonious updates!
