In an era where digital communication has become the norm, the practice of writing letters by hand might seem outdated, even quaint. However, as World Letter Writing Day on September 1st reminds us, this seemingly old-fashioned activity offers unique and powerful benefits. From nurturing mental well-being to enhancing critical communication skills, the act of putting pen to paper—or stylus to tablet—can still have a profound impact on our lives.
KrayonMag, a social storytelling platform empowering society by amplifying voices regarding social injustice, norms, and in-built stereotypes, successfully organised a handwritten letter festival, “Oshomoyer Daak", powered by Daraz. This one-of-a-kind event, which is particularly relevant in today's setting, was open to public and took place at Bishwo Shahitto Kendro for three days from 19 October to 21 October, 2022. The idea for "Oshomoyer Daak" and KrayonMag's letter festival came from the fact that people no longer write letters by hand.
