Build your child's global competence, social skills and communication skills
by having them correspond and develop a friendship with another child worldwide.
What is a DigiPal?
​
DigiPals is based on the very popular and amazing concept called Pen Pals. A pen pal is a person with whom one becomes friendly by exchanging letters, especially someone in a foreign country whom one has never met.
Technology advancements make pen pals more accessible than ever before as they allow us to connect with people from all around the world with efficiency and ease. Additionally, people can now further their communication and knowledge by collaborating on projects and other technological activities.
Due to this, we developed DigiPals - the digital friendly version of pen pals. We are the gateway to not just finding your child a DigiPal, but also a platform that:
- Allows you, the parent or tutor, to communicate directly with the other child's parent or tutor,
- Recommends you activities that the children can do together,
- Provides your child with templates for corresponding,
- Enables you to share your child's letters/work with the other child's parent or tutor,
- Gives you information and support to make this as easy and positive as possible,
- is 100% safe and secure
DigiPals is For:
Helping learners become global citizens
By learning and collaborating with learners of other cultures, they will enhance their skills, values and attitudes, and behaviours which will prepare them to navigate and thrive in a more diverse, interconnected world.
Building empathy, compassion and mutual respect
By learning about where others are from, their stories and their lives, they will grow empathy, compassion and mutual respect for one another.
​
​
Encouraging kindness and understanding
Once they become aware and understand more about others, they will become more open-mided, judge less and be kinder.
​
​
​
Developing social skills
​
As learners interact, communicate and collaborate with one another, they will feel an increased comfort level as well as become more competent.
​
​
​
Supporting multicultural awareness and diversity
By learners communicating with someone of a culture different to their own, they will gain the ability to understand and appreciate the history, life experiences and beliefs of diverse groups of people. Inevitably, greater cultural awareness supports a better community.
Practicing language skills
All learners can practice their language skills as they correspond with one another. It’s also possible to carry out a language exchange if both classes are learning each other’s native language.
