KIDCAFE exists to promote a global dialog among 10 to 15-year-old kids all over the world. It is intended to encourage both discussion among groups of kids and the building of individual friendships. The KIDCAFE HELP page describes how the family of KIDCAFE lists work. The lists are:
KIDCAFE-COORD
is for the teachers and other leaders responsible for students. If you are a teacher with a group of students participating in any of the KIDCAFE lists, you must subscribe to KIDCAFE-COORD. Once you subscribe you will get a Welcome Message.
KIDCAFE-INDIVIDUAL
is a list for individual keypal exchange. Mail from all unregistered participants are moderated to make sure that mail is appropriate.
KIDCAFE-SCHOOL
is a list for school organized keypal exchange. To this list you can send batches of mail between classes but also individual messages between kids participating from your school. This list is only supervised by the schools that use it. Registration is required but we are currently changing routines so registration will not be possible until further notice. Do NOT subscribe to this list. Subscribtion can only be made by members of the KIDCAFE Team.
KIDCAFE-TOPICS
is a list for open discussion. Youth can participate individually or as school participants. Mail from unregistered participants is moderated.
KIDCAFE-QUERY
is a list for young researchers. To this list you can send questions and organize polls. Do not send answers to the list, only surveys and the results of surveys. It is important that participants subscribe to the list for a long time otherwise the queries will have no answers. Mail from unregistered participants is moderated.
You can subscribe to these lists by sending an email message to
containing subscription commands for the lists you wish to receive. For example, if your name were Mickey Mouse, you might send:
SUB KIDCAFE-COORD Mickey Mouse
SUB KIDCAFE-QUERY Mickey Mouse
