The AVE Amici Program is our very own online Pen Pal Pro- gram. Our international Dual Diploma students are paired up with our American students at Academica schools in the United States. The students have the rich cultural exchange by communicating with one another online using webcams and speakers in a supervised setting. This allows the students to make a friend in a fun, safe and exciting way, while simulta- neously working on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in a real-life setting.
