Writing to pen-pals is a great way to get to know people from other cultures. ICEP's pen-pal service will help you find a Turkish person of your own age, with similar interests, to correspond with by post, email or instant messenger (eg. msn). We recommend that you use a combination of these: it’s exciting to receive postcards and envelopes with different stamps through the post, whereas email and msn are, of course, more immediate.

If you’d like to make new friends in Turkey, apply today. Once we have received your application, your details will be given to a suitable Turkish pen-pal who will then write to you.

Remember, this service is free of charge!
