Dear Networker, We would like to wish you welcome to list KIDLINK (KIDLINK Project List). KIDS-95 is a grassroot project aiming at getting as many children in the age group 10 -15 as possible involved in a GLOBAL dialog continuing until May 1995. The next project will be called KIDS-96. KIDLINK is the name of the organization of volunteers who run the KIDS-xx yearly projects. The "KIDLINK" discussion list has been established as a central information service for all persons interested in the development of the KIDS-95 global dialog project. This is where the newsletters are being published, where you can read about media reports, celebration plans, and other kinds of general announcements. If you sign off from this list, then you won't know what is going on! Please note that the KIDLINK list has not been set up for any dialog or discussion. It is just an information service. The KIDLINK list is only one part of our activity. We also have the following discussion lists under our "umbrella": RESPONSE is where the children send their responses to the four introductory questions: 1) Who am I? 2) What do I want to be when I grow up? 3) How do I want the world to be better when I grow up? 4) What can I do now to make this happen? This is the *only* purpose of this list. When this is done, we invite the children to start writing messages in KIDCAFE. Subscription: free for everybody. The children can search the archives of old messages sent to RESPONSE to find potential friends with matching personal interests, etc. KIDCAFE is for kids aged 10 - 15. Here, they can talk about whatever they like, establish relationships with new friends in other countries, discuss the future, school, hobbies, environment, or whatever. Subscription: Open for everybody, _but_ read only for those not in this age group. And, read only for kids who have not yet introduced themselves publicly by responding to the four basic questions. KIDCAFEP Portuguese language version of KIDCAFE KIDCAFES Spanish language KIDCAFE KIDCAFEJ Japanese language KIDCAFEN Scandinavian languages KIDLEADR is for teachers, coordinators, parents, social workers, and others interested in KIDS-95. This is an informal meeting place for those involved in KIDLINK: exchange of curriculum ideas, networking on a personal level, ask for help, requests for hello messages, teacher introductions, invitations to joint class projects, and much more. Subscription: Open to everybody. Remember to check out the archives of KIDLEADR for interesting background information. KIDLEADP Portuguese language version of KIDLEADR KIDLEADS Spanish language KIDLEADJ Japanese language KIDLEADN Scandinavian languages KIDFORUM has been created to provide an outlet for works by kids on a series of topics specified in advance. It is designed to promote exchanges between classroom groups of students. Monthly topics will be selected and scheduled in advance so that teachers can make plans for their classes to participate. KIDPROJ has been created to enable teachers/youth group leaders to provide projects for children through the KIDLINK network. For additional information, send a message to LISTSERV@vm1.nodak.edu . In the TEXT of your message, write the command GET KIDLINK PROJINFO KIDPLAN is for those who want to participate in the detail planning of various aspects of the project. For example, this is where the annual Celebration activities are coordinated, and the KIDFORUM topics are being discussed. GETTING INFORMATION - ------------------- You may want to seek more information from the archive before involving yourself in the discussion. We suggest that you first retrieve the files GENERAL, MASTER, and some recent newsletters. To get the first two of these files, send an ordinary email message to LISTSERV@vm1.nodak.edu (or LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 on BITNET). The TEXT of your request should contain the following commands: GET KIDLINK GENERAL GET KIDLINK MASTER You can also get this information through the KIDLINK Gopher. Use the following command to access this service: telnet 165.190.8.35 login: gopher -OR- Use your own Gopher: gopher kids.ccit.duq.edu 70 Browse through the menus to find the above file, stored by subject. Contribution to this list is automatically archived. You can obtain a list of archived notes by sending an "INDEX KIDLINK" command in an ordinary email message to the LISTSERV address above. You can have these files sent to you by sending the command: GET KIDLINK filetype or by using the database search facilities of LISTSERV. Send the command "INFO DATABASE" to LISTSERV (in an ordinary email message) for more information about to have files sent to you. You can also retrieve the list notebooks (e.g. archives of old contributions) via anonymous FTP to VM1.NoDak.EDU (134.129.111.1, userid Anonymous, any password). Once validated do a CD KIDLINK to access the KIDLINK disk. (The file system is NOT hierarchical, so you must do a CD ANONYMOUS if you want to return to the "root".) Looking forward to your involvement in KIDS-95! Thanks, Odd de Presno KIDLINK Project Director PS: For more information on the KIDS-95 project, please do not hesitate to contact me at <opresno@extern.uio.no>.
