| Kidlink is based on the
idea that getting kids around the world to talk to each other will
allow them a direct experience with friends having the common experience
of childhood but often in very different circumstances. By hearing a range
of opinions and developing familiarity with different ideas, we can hope
to overcome some communication barriers and solve some problems in
a more co-operative manner.
We hope that when Kidlink kids become adults they will take a more global and long-term perspective on issues, rather than acting to maximize local, short-term interests. Kidlink's participants live in countries all over the world. Their societies have very different views on social, ethical, legal, religious, and moral issues. Kidlink encourages participants to value these differences, and use them as a means of helping their kids gain a better insight into all views of a particular issue. In all activities, kids are free to honestly express their own views. Foul language or offensive manners are not allowed. Next page: Milestones in Kidlink's history | Educational contents
