Due to the global pandemic, travel aboard programs were cancelled this year. We are piloting an online pen-pal program between Corning and Kakegawa, Japan instead. We hope you will create connections, learn something new, smile, and maybe meet your pen-pal on a future annual trip to Japan! Can't travel? Hosting is an option too!
Families and individuals of all ages are welcome to participate! Each month, we will have a topic for you to discuss with your pen-pal. You can share pictures, ask your own questions, and are encouraged to talk about your daily life, interests, and hobbies. We will do our best to match pen-pals with those of similar age and/or interests.
Students should seek parent permission and discuss what personal information is appropriate to share.
We will send you an e-mail with details on the program and arrange an information session for participants by early April 2021.
We hope you will join us!
