Twinning arrangements

The Internationalt Federation of Environmental Health is operating different twinning arrangement.

They can be divided in two groups: Type 1 and type 2 twinning:

Type 1 Twinning

Type 1.
Twinning in the sense of exchange of expertise and professionals. 

There is now an agreement between the national associations within the IFEH, opening the possibility for the private members of the national associations to swap office and chair for a period of up to two or three weeks.

So if you are a private member of one of the 43 IFEH member organisations you now have this opportunity to pay a technical visit to another country for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. The visit will be hosted by the IFEH member organisation in the specific country.

If you are interested in utilizing the opportunity of twinning please get in touch with the contact person in your own country and then the contact person will afterward make contact to the wanted destination of yours and together we will try set up the needed and specific agreements.
