For this, a box with 60 illustrated cards designed by 31 members of the USFQ community has been prepared. Each letter contains a reflective and inspirational message in order to promote the habit of gratitude, as a fundamental pillar to see life from a more positive perspective and thus be able to transform it. Additionally, it includes an explanatory manual on the power of gratitude, as well as the story behind the creation of the product and its authors, made up of professors, students, alumni of the USFQ Digital Animation career and members of the foundations. participants, who collaborated with their illustrations in each of the letters.
The main artists collaborating in the development and concept of the project are: Andrea Encalada (CEPREME Foundation), Karla Chiriboga (USFQ), Gabriela Vayas-Rodríguez (USFQ) and Sebastián Jimenez (CEPREME Foundation).
The event will take place this coming Wednesday, November 24, 2022 at the Shakespeare Theater at 6:00 p.m. Its organizers extend a cordial invitation to the community to be part of this social initiative and also share with experts in positive psychology.
