Scientific partnership & public speaking
Pilot’s awareness initiatives are supported by Marie Prévost, PhD in Neuroscience, who accompanies our public speaking engagements and ensures a rigorous, science-based approach.
From a neuroscientific point of view, handwriting helps to develop and maintain brain capacities.
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.
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, cognitive abilities and well-being.

Through partnerships with schools and universities, Pilot delivers mind mapping workshops that promote handwriting as a tool for learning, clarity and selfexpression.
We led several campaigns across various countries, aiming to inspire people to reconnect
with the art of writing by hand and feel the difference in a digital world.
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.
Encourage young people to write a letter to their future selves, fostering creativity, self-reflection,
and mindfulness through handwriting.
