KIDLINK : a challenging and safe place for children across the world

Abstract

Describes the activities of KIDLINK, an international organization supported by professionals in education and computer networking which aims to establish communication between children across the world using Internet and other electronic mail and electronic conferencing networks. There are now some 2,600 children participating, from thirty-one countries. The main objective of KIDLINK is to involve as many 10 to 15 year old children as possible in a global dialogue on questions of current concern. To ensure that it is as representative as possible of the world's children, constant efforts are made to improve links with schools and education departments in developing countries.
