Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Trinational Eurodistrict of Basel, or Basel metropolitan area, extends across three countries: Switzerland, France and Germany. The Trinational Eurodistrict of Basel (German: Trinationaler Eurodistrict Basel (TEB)/ French: Eurodistrict trinational de Bâle (ETB)) is an organization of municipalities and cities in the trinational surroundings of Basel. The TEB acts as coordinator for cross-border projects between the German, French and Swiss cities around Basel and promotes the cultural and linguistic exchange between the people living in the region. This very close cooperation and coordination is necessary as the national borders run through a densely built area. The TEB forms an extension of the Trinational Agglomeration Basel (German: Trinationale Agglomeration Basel (TAB)/French: Agglomération Trinationale de Bâle (ATB).
