History of the Kidlink Project
The Kidlink Project was born in 1990 in Saltoy, Norway, during a cultural event, thanks to the collaboration of a group of teachers from different countries, and is based entirely on voluntary service. We are in the process of building new web pages to show the history of Kidlink.
Online services
It is now hosted on a network with several sites and services such as Moodle (installation coming soon to this site), Facebook groups, Padlet, etc) that allow teachers and students to collaborate by providing a wide range of easy-to-use features and functions. The main goal of the Kidlink Project is helping children through the secondary school level, to be involved in a global dialog.
Management
The Kidlink Project was previously managed by the non-profit KIDLINK ASSOCIATION originally registered in December 2008 in Goteborg, Sweden
and then registered in 2019, in Lipari, Italy.
The Board
Kidlink Association previously had an international board that met regularly via the Internet. It is now managed by a Director (United States) and Co-Director (Armenia) with suggestions and guidance from Friends of Kidlink.
