Pen starches' still exist: this is the new project of the Cra 'Istituto Longobucco' in Calendasco, which started in March with the children of the 'Casa Dei Castori'.

Pupils in the last year of kindergarten sent postcards made by them during creative workshops at school, complete with a letter written on the back.

The elderly, in their own way, received and responded to the postcards with great enthusiasm, ready to answer the stories of the little pen pals.

"The initiative will continue throughout the school year and we hope to be able to maintain it during the summer with the help of the parents. These correspondences represent a real generational meeting, very special for the guests," says Emilia Tramelli, head of the Piacenza residences. "It is important to create moments in which our guests can have fun and receive stimuli from the outside. We would like to thank the animator Silvia for creating this initiative, all our staff for welcoming them and the teachers for their availability".
