Postcard project for my ULIS class kids!!! ;)

Julien231 · 2026-07-11

Hello everyone! 🙂🙂, A BIG thank you to all the travelers who sent us postcards this year—my students are becoming real geography whizzes!!!!!!!! I’m renewing my call for your kindness this year! We’re also working on food, so if your postcards can make our mouths water with local dishes, traditional meals, or typical recipes, that’d be amazing!!

Here’s a quick recap of the project:

I’m reaching out to all travelers and globetrotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse, working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m starting a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of the journal will focus on opening up to the world, diversity, travel, countries, culture... I’m launching a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a little postcard (from France or anywhere in the world!) to take us on a journey and help us discover new places, countries, and horizons—much more fun and exciting than a regular geography textbook! One section of our journal could be called "We received mail from " and would be an opportunity to research that location and share what we learn with our readers (a super enriching activity in class). The project starts in September 2025 but has no real end date, as this journal and world discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in my ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! (The kids will find them when they return.) I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow traveler friends. Make us dream, take us on a journey!!! For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!! Thank you in advance for your participation(s)! Below is our address. Feel free to leave your own address on a corner of the postcard if you’d like us to write back! 😊

Postcard Operation for My ULIS Class Kids!!! :)

Hi, Finding postcards featuring local/traditional/typical dishes might be a bit tricky, but we’ll look around!! Worst case, we could post photos of traditional dishes here in the thread with a little explanatory text!

Hi Julien

What a lovely idea for your students 🙂.

I’ll try to keep it in mind for my next trip, but I agree with Lescaribous about how tricky it is to find "foodie" postcards (first, just finding a regular postcard, then a stamp—not always sold in the same place—then a postbox isn’t always straightforward, not to mention the card can take weeks or even months to arrive... or never does). Of course, getting a postcard isn’t the same as getting an email, but wouldn’t a digital version work?

PS: I used to be a school psychologist, so I’m very familiar with ULIS 😉
