Students from Tulsa’s Sister City of Celle, Germany spent the week in Tulsa with Riverfield Country Day School host families, celebrating 25 years of friendship between the two cities. Earlier this year, Riverfield students visited Celle, exploring sites like Heidelberg Castle, the Kölner Dom, and the historic Ratsherrensaal in Celle City Hall. From pickleball and pumpkin carving to shared classrooms and new friendships, the exchange reflects the heart of Tulsa Global Alliance’s mission to build understanding through connection.

Tulsa Global Alliance welcomed 12 Canadian Youth Ambassadors for 10 days of cultural exchange, civic engagement, and community connection. From volunteering at local nonprofits to meeting Tulsa leaders and sharing life with host families, the students experienced firsthand the spirit of hospitality that defines our city.
