THI initiates Corona pen friendships as part of the project "Mensch in Bewegung

Technischen Hochschule Ingolstadt is initiating Corona pen friendships as part of the knowledge transfer project "Mensch in Bewegung". The aim of the campaign is to give people living in care facilities a treat and a few minutes of distraction in times of social isolation. The letters are collected and distributed to retirement homes and institutions for the disabled. All citizens can take part in the activity. "There are no limits to creativity," emphasizes project manager Thomas Schmidt. "For example, simply report on your everyday life before and now during the Corona crisis or how you spent Easter or past holidays. People are certainly particularly happy about something painted or handcrafted by children.

Letters can be sent until Friday, 8 May, to the following address

Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt
"Mensch in Bewegung" - ZAF
Aktion Corona-Brieffreundschaften
Esplanade 10
85049 Ingolstadt

If a reply is desired, this should be noted in the letter and the address indicated.
