Our brand cause:

Support the act of handwriting at the digital era

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

Commitment 01

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, cognitive abilities and well-being.

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.

Collection of educational materials and mind mapping tools used in academic partnerships

Academic partnerships & mind mapping

Through partnerships with schools and universities, Pilot delivers mind mapping workshops that promote handwriting as a tool for learning, clarity and selfexpression.

Activity box and toolkit materials designed to promote handwriting among children

Toolkits & activity boxes

We want to deploy handwriting kits and activity boxes designed for different audiences, combining writing tools and guided exercises.

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.

Commitment 02

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.
