SeneCan Connect

Pen pals are people who regularly write to each other. Traditionally this was done via postal mail but in today’s modern world, pen pals often communicate through other mediums ranging from email to text to snapchat and more.

Pen pals are usually strangers whose relationship is based primarily, or even solely, on their exchange of correspondence. A pen pal relationship is often used to practice reading and writing in a foreign language, to improve literacy, and most importantly, to learn more about other countries and life-styles from someone in a similar age group, and to foster the development of international friendships.

Through the SeneCan Connect Platform, Seneca students can sign up for a Canadian Pen Pal – a peer student who will help to further unlock the weekly Canadian themes. We hope that the pen pals will exchange at least two-forms of communication each month over the coming Winter Term but the pen pals will determine the frequency that works best for them.
