Support the act of handwriting at all ages to live better
By developing & maintaining cognitive aptitudes.
From a neuroscientific point of view, handwriting helps to develop and maintain brain capacities.
By enhancing expressive abilities.
Handwriting, but also, drawing, DIY leisure & creative activities are considered as a restorative and liberating act, as a form of personal release from emotional burdens.
Our brand cause
Raise awareness of the benefits of handwriting
Acquisition of reading skills, memorisation, mindfulness, self-expression… the benefits of handwriting are so numerous and yet so little known. At PILOT, we want to spread the word and raise awareness of how handwriting can benefit our cerebral powers, cogntive abilities and well-being.
Handwriting Benefits Cards
A comprehensive set of cards for the discovery of the benefits of handwriting – highlighted by scientific works – to facilitate our brain development, connect and express our uniqueness. We also regularly highlight related content to our B2B and B2C audience.
“Une vie à écrire”
PILOT has teamed up with “Le cherche midi” editor to develop the book Une vie à écrire, in which artists, writers, journalists or simple lovers of words reveal how handwriting brings people together, transforms them and helps them to live. Profits go to the associations “Le Labo des Histoires” and #STOPILLETTRISME.
Help the development of expressive and cognitive aptitudes
Even though handwriting is challenged by the digital world, its benefits remain key, enabling us to feel better, work better, learn better. It stimulates our long-term brain capacity, and helps us to express our sensitivity, our own vision and to write down our world.
Organization of handwriting workshops
Whether for its own employees or for local communities, PILOT regularly organizes handwriting workshops, promoting the discovery of the world of words in a playful manner by connecting to ourselves and others.
Developing specific materials for teachers
In Germany, PILOT co-develops and provides pedagogic materials for teachers, in order to support them in the daily promotion of the benefits of handwriting and issues of sustainability which are consistent with our CSR policy.
Participating in the life & well-being of our local communities
PILOT actively takes part in the life and development of our local communities. From pen donations and solidarity initiatives, through to support for associations who are aligned with our mission.
