What We Do

Each teacher that registers for International Art Pen Pals is added to our database and matched with a teacher of similar age students in another country. Once connected, your class will create artwork, theirs will too, and then you’ll make your first swap! Through trading physical artwork or digital artwork across the globe, our children will develop a bond to other people, cultures, and places than their own in a real and tangible way. We provide helpful tips for a successful swap, but also encourage teachers to take their own approach once connected with one another. Additionally, we offer a gallery page for schools to contribute to which serves as a Digital International Art Exhibition of our participants work. Let us do the matchmaking for you and see how far your classroom can reach!
