CULTURE.
The Shoreview-Einhausen Sister City Association keeps busy! Throughout the year we offer a
variety of interesting and fun activities that
everyone is welcome to at any time.
Not a Shoreview, MN resident? No problem! Our members reside in many areas of the Twin Cities
and we love checking out new places to have a good time and experience German culture.

CULTURAL
Exchange
SESCA aids local students and adults, as well as Einhausen residents, in finding private residences for stays of short duration.
SESCA offers a scholarship program for high school students interested in attending the Concordia College German Language camps located near Bemidji, Minnesota or participating in tours to Germany led by German teachers with home stays in Einhausen. Assistance via scholarships is at our discretion and requires a recommendation of a German teacher at Mounds View and Irondale High Schools only. Inquires for scholarships should be made at least 90 days prior to the program event.
