OPEP
In 1987, the « Plouzané – Kilrush » association became the « Office pour les Echanges à Plouzané-Comité de jumelage » (OPEP), the Plouzané Office for Exchanges and Twinning Committee. Since 1999, an agreement has formalised the partnership between the town council and OPEP. The Twinning Committee’s mission is to promote and coordinate friendly exchanges between Plouzané and its European twin towns by maintaining contacts and exchanges of a cultural, family, educational, sporting or economic nature.
It organises meetings, visits and stays in a spirit of understanding and solidarity. Exchanges are hosted by families. The committee supports all initiatives that promote peace and bring people together.
