“Letters Across the Bridge” is a cultural exchange and pen pal program designed to foster global connection, literacy, empathy, and cross-cultural learning among youth.
Through this initiative, students from communities in Nashville will be matched with students at Pediatorkope D/A Basic School to become pen pals. Which will include exchanging handwritten letters, drawings, and cultural insights throughout the school year.
● Encourage literacy and written communication skills in both student groups.
● Cultivate a sense of global citizenship and cultural awareness.
● Provide ongoing engagement for Nashville youth beyond local community service.
● Build lasting friendships and expand worldviews.
