York social enterprise Get Cycling have welcomed visitors from one of the city’s twins, Munster in Germany.
The community interest company hosted 15 employees from the City of Münster government on a guided cycle tour of the local area, starting outside the Fulford shop where they picked up their hire bikes – including a tandem! – and riding over Millennium Bridge towards the University of York and then back.
They all enjoyed the chance to experience some of York’s most scenic cycling routes and outdoor space.
It was the fourth visit made to York by Munster employees, helping improve intercultural relationships and enhance international communication and language skills.
During their stay in York, the group were to take part in skills training at York Associates International, which has more than 35 years’ experience providing English and international communication from the city.
They were also working on research projects including accessibility for tourists with disabilities, child friendliness at tourist attractions, the culture of food and drinking in York, the relationship between Harry Potter and the city, and the differences between farming in York and in Münster.
