Cooperation
As regards cooperation, in 2007 the town of Blois engaged in partnership with the town of Hue (Vietnam) built around initiatives on urban heritage promotion, public lighting gardens, game areas for children… and flood prevention. And each year, the town of Blois facilitates the hosting of students from Hue in the national Val de Loire engineering school.
Lastly, the town has signed a cooperation protocol with town of Azrou, which is located in the Meknès-Tafilalet region of Morocco, region with which the Centre regional council had previously established a cooperation agreement. Given its sizable Moroccan community and determination to develop cooperative activities with the Maghreb populations, Blois has decided to be part of a dynamic of exchange and sharing of culture and experience. The main areas of cooperation consist in policies pertaining to youth, sports, culture and tourism, along with exchanges of experiences and skills between the staffs of the two communities.
