Patients from the University Hospital are participating in the Chronos Literature Prize

The residents of the RPA – La Charité, the patients of the child and adolescent psychiatry service (UCHA) accompanied by the teacher of the service, as well as those of the University Center for Renal Diseases (CUMR) are the juries of this national prize!

Two reading categories were offered: "High school students, 20 years and older" and "Graphic novels." Registered patients have four months to read four books. At the end, they will vote for their favorite.

In May, the Mission for Healthy Aging in the city of Caen will centralize the votes to send them to the national level.

The Chronos Prize for Literature pursues several objectives:

• Raising awareness among young and old about the life journey, from birth to death, and the fact that "Growing up is growing old... Growing old is growing up.".
• Encourage the development of intergenerational relationships.
• Developing a love of reading among young people and introducing foreign jurors to the French language.
• Contributing to citizenship education through individual secret ballot voting.
• To promote the writing, illustration and publication of works addressing the theme of "Growing Up-Growing Old" and the links between generations.

See you in June for the results!
