Zelenograd,
Russia
(Since July 1992)
Zelenograd is one
of the prefects of Moscow with a population of approximately
180,000, 40% having advanced graduate degrees. It
has been a major industrial center for electronics
and microelectronics, producing much of the Russian
space program's technology. Blending technological
advancement and environmental concerns, Zelenograd
(which means "green city" in Russian) has created
a green belt to preserve its natural surroundings.
Zelenograd is home to the Moscow Institute of Electronic
Technology and to the International Institute for
Business Education (IBE), formerly Zelenograd Business
College, co-founded by the University of Tulsa. TU
and IBE regularly exchange students and faculty.
Numerous adult exchanges and youth trips have reinforced
the partnership's ties.
In 2005, Three Booker T. Washington students traveled
to Zelenograd, as part of an educational exchange
with Zelenograd School #1150. During their visit,
the students attended Russian classes and visted historical
and cultural attractions. Past visits have included
the Tulsa Area Chapter of the American Red Cross,
which conducted a thematic youth exchange with the
Red Cross Chapter in Zelenograd through a grant from
Sister Cities International.
The Tulsa Zelenograd
Association hosts Tulsa's annual Women's Day Celebration,
to celebrate women's achievements past, present and
future.
