Berlin, 26 March

Dear Sir/Madam,

People to People International is a cultural and educational exchange organisation dedicated to advancing international understanding and friendship through the exchange of ideas and experiences directly among people of different countries and cultures. People to People International is a non-political, non-religious and not-for-profit organisation. We offer a variety of programs that aim at enhancing cross-cultural exchange and we also participate in the initiatives of the Council of Europe within the European framework. You may find further information on our organisation on our international Web site www.ptpi.org.

We would like to establish communication with schools in Hungary to include them in our worldwide network and thus to foster international exchange and dialogue. We want to inform them in particular about our School and Classroom Program, which, we believe, could be of great interest and use for the children.
It is a free service pairing teachers and their students with similar-age classrooms in other countries. Together the classrooms work on different projects, spanning from correspondence and artwork to comparing the two countries respective financial systems. Interaction between classrooms occurs via the postal service and the Internet and may employ audio and visual tools, all according to the wishes of the individual classrooms. It is also possible to form larger groups where more than two countries work on a joint project. Teachers may choose projects suggested in the Program manual or new projects may be created. The School and Classroom Program is aimed at primary, middle and secondary classrooms, clubs and youth groups from all countries. The working language is primarily English but the program is also well suited for classes learning another language. The participating teachers and students are not expected to speak the chosen language fluently even though a certain minimum level of naturally is necessary.

We would be very grateful if you could provide us with contact information, especially e-mail addresses, of schools from the different regions in Hungary. Please, feel free to contact us when you have any further questions concerning the program or our organisation, People to People International.

Thanking you in advanced,

Lars Poignant/EM
