ACTIVITY 6: PEN-PALS, LETTERS AND FRIENDS
Set up a discussion forum, newsgroup, a letter or electronic mail exchange with another Human Rights Club around the world or in your country.
Initiate this exchange by sending photos from all your past activities, your rules, characteristics and club history. This may lead to a visit later if the distance allows, and a chance to meet members of the other community.
Investigate the twin club: - How big is it?
- What are the differences and similarities?
This activity could be repeated many times, eventually growing your small “community” into an international multi-club vast community!
