The 'Friends of Nara' is a network of Canberra citizens who are, or wish to be, involved in sister-city activities and exchanges.

There are a few ways of getting involved as a friend of Nara. These include:

· Volunteering at the Canberra Nara Candle Festival

· Participating in citizens' delegations travelling to Nara

· Participating in social events arranged for Nara citizens' delegations when they visit Canberra

· Fostering one-to-one relationships between schools and clubs in the ACT and Nara

The Canberra Nara Shimbun is a quarterly newsletter that features items about friendly relations between Canberra and Nara.

To register your interest in promoting international friendships through the Canberra-Nara Sister City relationship, email internationalrelations@act.gov.au
