An official twinning agreement between Leven and a southern French town will be signed next month.
A delegation of 34 people will travel to Bruges near Bordeaux in late June to formalise links between the two areas.
The group will include school pupils, teachers, representatives from a number of local organisations and members of the town twinning association.
A local councillor will also join the trip as a representative of Fife Provost Jim Leishman.
The twinning initiative has been hailed as a fantastic opportunity to forge links with another part of Europe and Fife Council’s Levenmouth area committee has agreed to fund the £6,800 cost of the visit.
Half of that will be paid back after fundraising by Levenmouth Town Twinning Association.
Local councillor Alistair Hunter said the agreement was a prime example of how the council could help young people see a bit of the world.
“The world is a big place and they can be part of that as active participants,” he said.
“These are some of the life-changing things that in 20 years they will still be talking about.”
He added: “You can’t overstate the importance of cultural links.”
In a report to the committee, area manager David Paterson said Levenmouth had already been represented at the Bruges Christmas Market in 2014 and 2015 and a delegation had visited from Bruges last summer.
“It was agreed that there would be specific focus on developing links that encouraged activities and interaction between young people from both communities, links between sports clubs as well as links between groups that played music of all types,” he said.
“Plans are already under way for local people to be involved in a football tournament and music festival in France.
“There would also be encouragement between local businesses and, where appropriate and mutually advantageous, this aspect will be developed over time.”
Mr Paterson described the June delegation as a significant event which would allow a number of connections to be made.
