Beckum maintains 3 town twinning arrangements
Beckum is a cosmopolitan city. Many businesses in the town export their goods to all continents.
The town twinning arrangements with La Celle Saint-Cloud in France, Grodków in Poland and the municipality of Seebad Heringsdorf in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are also part of the international and domestic contacts.
In 2010, Beckum was awarded the European Plaque by the Council of Europe for its services.
La Celle Saint-Cloud (F)
Our twin town in France for over 35 years
Since 1983, the towns of La Celle Saint-Cloud and Beckum have been linked by a warm friendship that finds its expression in regular and intensive mutual visits. Athletes invite each other to competitions, there are joint musical performances, joint art exhibitions and much more. The programme also includes regular school exchanges and, of course, visits to each other's town festivals.
