The PenPal and Collaborative Education Program is to connect local students with the outside world and enable students at the similar age, both local and international, to interact one another via emails, post mails, digital platforms/tools, educational visits or any other ways. Also, its aim is to form an international community for educators for the development of new teaching curriculums and strategies between Israel and Taiwan. The ultimate goal is to establish sister school partnerships for bilateral schools.
Objectives:

2. To enhance educators’ abilities to develop international education curriculums
3. To reinforce educators’ abilities to collaborate with others
4. To build up students’ partnerships with other international peers via emails, post mails, digital platforms/tools, educational visits or any other ways
