About this project

D. Kiwitt from Mandelzweig-Projekthilfe e.V. is responsible for this project
"Hello dear Friends, we are so happy to get your letter from Bhubaneswar, India!"-  The LETTERCROSSING project is a vibrant initiative fostering cultural and linguistic exchange between currently 14 school classes in Germany and India since 2019. Our goal is to ignite a dialogue about the rich tapestry of similarities and differences between our cultures, nurturing reflection and tolerance through the exchange of heartfelt letters. 

Paired with pen pals from the other country, students engage in English correspondence, sharing insights into their everyday lives, traditions, dreams, and plans for the future. Beyond enhancing language skills, it raises awareness of the importance of learning a foreign language in our globalized world. In collaboration with our dedicated partner organization, Aashraya, workshops are conducted with Indian classes and teachers, adding an educational layer to the cross-cultural exchange. The letters facilitate mutual learning, break down prejudices, and spark curiosity about the diverse landscapes and cultures that shape our global community.

Through the LETTERCROSSING project, students not only grow personally and intellectually but also contribute to fostering understanding and communication between cultures. The success of this initiative relies on continuous support, and our organization is always on the lookout for donations to further enrich educational and cultural exchange programs like this one. Join us in promoting unity through diversity and creating a world where letters become bridges of friendship and understanding!"
