At Lo Stivaletto restart FRANNA, the project aimed at girls and boys from 5 to 10+ years who want to exchange drawings and letters with other peers (s) of elementary schools in Italy.

Those who are younger can start by sending their drawings, those who are older can practice writing in Italian. But most of all it is an opportunity to help them (re)discover the beauty of handwriting: from the emotion of waiting for letters to the joy of reading what was written by a person you have never met.

Do you think you—children—want to participate?!

How Pen Friend works

The collaboration with Italian schools has begun a few months ago and the first exchange of letters gave great satisfaction to the children and educators involved, in the Netherlands as in Italy. So we can't wait to continue!

These are first, fourth and fifth grade classes, so the children involved are aged between 5 and 10 years.

The exchange will take place in paper form – not digital – with the mediation of Lo Stivaletto and the reference school in Italy.
Anyone can participate! You do not need to be a member or member of the Stivaletto membership.

Once the registrations have been collected, we will send instructions for shipping and collecting the letters.

We hope to receive your membership as soon as possible so that we can start this magical adventure immediately!
