The DTTIA is a not-for-profit organisation that exists to foster international friendships, not only with Darlington's official twin towns of Mülheim an der Ruhr and Amiens, but also with other towns across Europe and the world.
Here you will find out about the DTTIA; what it is, what we do and how you can get involved. We welcome any contact from individuals, clubs, groups, associations and businesses that would like to get or have been involved with similar groups in our twin towns. You will see by our news and gallery sections on the website, that we carry out events on a regular basis.
Why not take a look at our gallery to see some of the images from our various projects and international visits.
Darlington has been twinned with Mülheim an der Ruhr in Germany, and has had links with Amiens in France since 1953.
From 2nd to 7th May 19 young footballers and 6 adults from Niepolomice were in Darlington. On Thursday at 1000 they were invited to the Town Hall where they met the Mayor Councillor Jan Taylor and learned about the history of the Town. They then spent free time around Darlington before meeting Hummersknott Badminton Club at the Dolphin Centre, where they had 2 hours of 5 a side football and badminton, followed by an excellent buffet.
Visit to Amiens for the Fete Dans La Ville is arranged for 13th to 17th June. We have booked 16 rooms at the Ibis Cathedrale Hotel and these have now been taken up by members. We have a 49 seater coach so there will be room for more participants if we can book further accommodation. 2018 is also the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1 and we should be able to arrange visits to Arras, Thiepval and Albert.
