Pangaea develops an intercultural collaboration environment using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) called the Universal Playground where children around the world can foster personal bonds regardless of their location, language, and cultural background, through a playful activity called "Pangaea Activity." Pangaea is a unique organization in that it has on-going global fields for local children and has developed its own ICT system. This case paper reports how the Communicator, the pictogram communication software, was designed and developed. Development of the software and ICT system comes together through the Pangaea Activity menu, facilitation knowhow, and field operation flow in order to bring the best performance toward its mission. As human-resources, funding, and time are limited, internal qualitative evaluations were conducted actively and quantitative evaluations were done in cooperation with external research groups.
