Montblanc reaffirms its support of worldwide educational programmes through its cooperation with the Novak Djokovic Foundation
Montblanc is pleased to announce its partnership with the Novak Djokovic Foundation, unifying the efforts of both organizations in their ongoing support for children and their future. With the launch of a special edition StarWalker writing instrument limited to just 300 pieces, this partnership aims to support educational programmes worldwide. Novak Djokovic’s belief that writing is a fundamental part of education that every child should have access to, perfectly corresponds with Montblanc’s origins in the culture of writing and the Maison’s belief that writing is a precious gift that has the power to change the world and should be bestowed on every human being.
“We had the pleasure to meet Novak at the Laureus World Sports Awards earlier this year and were delighted to learn that a true sports legend like himself keeps a daily journal. His passion towards empowering our youth through education goes hand in hand with our Maison’s values to encourage individuals to leave their mark in this world. We are happy to partner with Novak’s Foundation, helping to provide children with the tools that will support them achieve their full potential - so no dream can seem impossible, no matter the circumstances.” says Nicolas Baretzki, Montblanc CEO.
By teaming up with the NDF, Montblanc contributes to the global impact the organization has made since it was founded in 2007. The organization's mission is to help children from disadvantaged communities to grow up and develop in stimulating and safe environments. By making long-term investments in early childhood education programmes, the foundation is keen to invest in everyone’s future, giving every child the opportunity to receive a quality preschool education and a chance to flourish.
With its origins in the culture of writing, Montblanc has always put education at the heart of its social commitment, supporting programmes that give children the ability to read and write, helping them find a way to a brighter future.
“I was recently asked during an interview if I feel that a tennis racket is the most powerful weapon given how much it has brought to me. My answer was that a writing instrument is a much stronger weapon than any other. All the great ideas, books, songs, memories and scientific knowledge was once written with a writing instrument. My wish and the wishes of my family and the Novak Djokovic Foundation is that knowledge becomes the moving strength of every young person in the world. In order to achieve that we must secure them access to education from their earliest days. I would like to thank Montblanc for recognizing our foundation as a partner in our mutual mission of promoting and investing in the early development and education of children worldwide, “said Novak Djokovic.
The StarWalker special edition Fineliner comes with a matching notebook, personalized with Novak Djokovic’s signature, and will be available exclusively at Montblanc Boutiques in New York City, London and Paris and through US, UK, FR online boutiques.
