I am so honoured to have been invited to write about Dear You on HundrED, a not-for-profit organization, which seeks and shares inspiring innovations in K12 education
Seeing that Dear You is a mail art exchange, I thought it was best fitting to introduce this project in the form of an open letter. I am so appreciative to you two, Milo and Siiri, for your good energy, creativity, honesty and open minds because that is what keeps this project going!
Dear Milo and Siiri,
I remember in the fall of 2018 I was so excited to have your 2nd-grade class at NEST+m in NYC, USA, make and share art with my 1st grade at Ressun peruskoulu in Helsinki, Finland! That time we all had together still shimmers bright in my mind. I remember all the artworks and stories everybody made and shared. I remember how well you New Yorkers described your city and how we in Helsinki were imagining what it would be like to live there. Some of us have traveled there and even lived there, but your images and words along with your great questions and answers painted a whole other picture for us. Thank you!
