Introducing The Moleskine Foundation
After 10 years of existence lettera27 has entered a new phase of its evolution taking its heritage – people, values and projects – to a wider scale. On October 24th lettera27 became the Moleskine Foundation. The change from lettera27 to Moleskine Foundation is more than just a rename. It’s a symbol of a long relationship and process that lasted more than 10 years. Since the birth of lettera27 founded by the same people who created the Moleskine Brand, Moleskine has supported the organisation through funding and mutual projects, which formed a deep intrinsically interconnected partnership. Today, with the increased financial support from the Moleskine Company that will allow the Foundation to exist, we can put our mutual expertise to create a bigger social impact on a grander scale. It’s crucial to note that the Foundation will operate in complete independence from the Moleskine company and will pursue its non-profit commitment by focusing on Quality Education. Our mission is to provide youth with unconventional educational tools and experiences that help foster critical thinking, creativity and life-long learning, with the focus on communities affected by cultural and social deprivation.
We hope that you will share our excitement for expanding and enriching this canvas of creativity, culture and knowledge that we have weaved together in years and will join us on our new journey. Find out how you can get involved and subscribe to our newsletter to be updated on our activities.

Les cofondatrices Catherine Dunga et Marleen Palmaers ont créé Kitambo pour combler le fossé entre la diaspora africaine en Colombie et les récits du continent. Respectivement depuis Kinshasa et Anvers, elles cherchent à mettre en relation les artistes africains du continent et leurs pairs de la diaspora colombienne.
