About MISCA
Our mission is to encourage among the citizens of Minneapolis and Ibaraki City, Japan:- A mutual interest and understanding of the culture, society and history of each other's communities.
- A mutual concern for the welfare and improvement of each other's communities.
- An exchange of correspondence, information, and in-person visits, to enhance the cultural, educational, artistic, musical, athletic, and social affairs of each other's communities.
In addition to exchanges, MISCA organizes receptions, tours, home stays, and special activities for visiting delegations. Sister-city activities have indirectly benefitted local economies by strengthening trade and business relations, and by increasing tourism between our two cities.
