Dear You: A Letter with Love on HundrED
2020, HundrEDCommentI 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. Thank you Milo and Siiri for your good energy, creativity, honesty and open minds!
Dear You on HundrED
HundrED, 2020CommentAs the creator of Dear You, I feel it’s important that children’s voices are heard and that we nurture a safe space for people to exchange, make, and be.
I find it very important to self-educate and expand my horizons as an artist and as an educator so I have been putting my efforts, since spring 2020, in being a HundrED Ambassador and HundrED Academy member. I was also invited to be on the Visual Arts in Education Spotlight Advisory Board in the early summer, which was pure privilege.
