Description:
Kids Pen pal is a network of youth, especially kids in kindergarten or elementary schools, in East Asian countries. It is an initiative of the East Asian delegates of the World Youth Congress 2005 in Scotland.
Delegates of WYC2005 give lectures to youth to promote their understanding of the themes of Millennium Development Goals ( MDGs ). Then the youth write letters to each other, sharing their ideas about MDGs. The letters are not that formal. Pictures drawn by the kids or short letters illustrated with icons will be welcomed as well.
Background:
Do you still remember the Regional Discussion on the Congress in Scotland? Kate, a delegate of China, proposed that we establish pen pal relationships among kids in East Asia. It is time to put our ideas into action now.
Objectives:
To help kids in East Asia communicate with each other more frequently.
To help the youth in East Asian countries learn more about the real world including the natural world and the society they are living in.
To promote young people’s understanding of the themes of MDGs.
Needs:
Who will be the partner of this network?
Delegates of WYC2005 are the priority partners of the Kids Pen Pal network since we share the common experience of the Congress in Scotland and all have a clear view of the MDGs. Besides, anyone with the recommendations of delegates can be a partner of the network in case he/she quite clearly understands the themes of MDGs and sharescommon values with the other partners.
