The history of writing letters and pen-pal activity

Writing letters is out of vogue; a shame, since writing letters is a beautiful way to communicate. Whereas writing Whatsapp and email is mostly pragmatic and superficial, writing a letter invites one to make a well-structured, thoughtful message.  During the Eureka penpal-activity, I will tell you about the use of writing letters, and how the letter came to be. Then, I will make pairs that will write each other a letter. You will be provided with a poststamp, letter-paper, and -of course- an envelope. Would you like to revive this lost art?

The activity will take place 23th of November, from 11:00 until 12:45. It will take place at KNG80 – 102.
