"You learn what you imagine." 🎨🧠   Creativity and visualisation can make you remember more effectively. Mnemonics, which use associations to help recall things that are hard to memorise, or large mood boards and mind maps to illustrate complex issues: They help us learn things more easily and retain information better. 📚🗺️   At Faber-Castell, we want to encourage all people to discover their own individual creativity and personal style!   How do you see yourself?   Watch our short video to find out what self-expression can look like.

Love, creativity, and female power—these are the ingredients of the Counts of Faber-Castell's impressive coat of arms. Today's International Heraldry Day is a perfect opportunity to focus on the emblem that is an integral part of our tradition.   In 1898, on the occasion of her marriage to Alexander Count zu Castell-Rüdenhausen, Countess Ottilie von Faber-Castell herself created the new heraldic symbol with great dedication. It combines the elements of both family crests: the craftsman with the hammer in the first and fourth fields represents the Faber family, while the colours red and silver in the second and third fields reflect the colours of the House of Castell.   Between the 1950s and 1970s, the coat of arms served as the company logo and was constantly adapted to reflect contemporary tastes. Even today, it's just as striking as it was back then, and it adorns in abstract form the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection, a luxurious range of outstanding writing instruments and accessories.

Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of our managed forests in Prata, Brazil! Close your eyes and listen to the cicadas. A great opportunity to reflect on our own connection to nature as this June 5th communities worldwide celebrate World Environment Day.   At Faber-Castell, we are committed to more than just managing and preserving forests as a resource for sustainable pencil production. We are deeply involved in nurturing the land and combating the challenges of drought through our initiatives. One of our key projects, “Soils”, focuses on reducing soil erosion. By meticulously analysing and mapping the soils of the forests, we are actively working to preserve the delicate balance of these ecosystems.   This year’s World Environment Day shines a light on themes that resonate deeply with our own efforts – land restoration and drought resilience. We invite you to explore how these endeavours are part of a larger ecological and social commitment.   Please check out our sustainability website: https://lnkd.in/d6Trycn.   #worldenvironmentday2024 #worldenvironementday #GenerationRestoration #sustainability #ChangeNeedsCreativity

This is the DNA coding ‘AGTC’. Translated, this means: Human dignity is inviolable. This is the first article of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany.   Rooted in Germany for generations, our company has a very special reason to celebrate these days: The German constitution (“Grundgesetz”) is marking its 75th anniversary. It is nothing less than the cornerstone of our co-existence in a democratic and free constitutional state.   Professors Reinhard Heckel and Robert Grass from Technische Universität München and ETH Zürich, on behalf of the non-profit initiative "DNA of Democracy," which was founded by well-known private individuals and companies from the media and creative industries, transferred the constitution into a DNA sequence using a "DNA data storage" process. Billions of copies of the Basic Law's DNA have been infused and processed into ink by concept artist Solimán López using document-proof black ink from the "Graf von Faber-Castell Collection", which spreads the Basic Law each time it is used and preserves it on the respective writing surface. Filled into a nib, the copy of the constitution can be found in every line drawn with this writing instrument and can be read in biotechnological laboratories.    Faber-Castell is honoured to support this unique campaign with ink and Graf von Faber-Castell "Guilloche Black Edition" fountain pens engraved with GG (for "Grundgesetz"). They will be handed over to senior civil servants at official ceremonies in the next couple of days. We will keep you posted on the event!   Learn more about the "DNA of Democracy" campaign: https://lnkd.in/eMmCR9Ye (in German only)    #FaberCastell #Democracy #BillofRights #Grundgesetzt Daniel Koller Seven.One AdFactory White Rabbit Budapest Publicis Media MSL (Global) WE ARE UMBRELLA COLLECTIVE

We all want to express ourselves, and we all do it in our own unique way. We are excited to launch the second phase of our brand campaign “Creativity in your hands”. It focuses on the question: How do you see yourself?   In this, we'll be showcasing five individuals who have portrayed themselves in their very own way. From children to artists, we are a lifelong companion for all creative people. We want to encourage everyone to tap into their creativity and be themselves.   In our short videos, you'll see each person using a different Faber-Castell tool to bring their vision to life. What does their self-expression look like? And which pencil or pen did they choose? Watch the videos to find out! The first one you will find here today. More will follow in June, so stay tuned!   We hope that these forms of expression will inspire you to explore your own creativity and find the perfect tool to show who you really are.   Join us on this journey of self-expression and creativity. Visit our website (https://lnkd.in/esnmNiFc) to learn more about our campaign and find the perfect Faber-Castell tool to bring your vision to life.   Remember, with Faber-Castell, creativity is in your hands.   #FaberCastell #CreativityInYourHands 

  Let’s celebrate the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development!   We believe that the richness of cultures and the diversity of people make the world as colourful as our pens! 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣 🟤 ⚫ ⚪ ✏️   We are therefore particularly proud of Faber-Castell Brasil's partnership with the São Paolo based NGO Adere - Associação para Desenvolvimento, Educação e Recuperação do Excepcional, which has given our recycled pencils a whole new potential: Since 2017, artists with intellectual disabilities have been transforming the pencils into creative products such as key rings, jewellery, picture frames, and much more. Faber-Castell employees have the opportunity to experience the day-to-day activities of ADERE as part of a corporate volunteering programme.   As part of our diversity strategy, we have recruited 10 employees from ADERE to stimulate creativity in our company. They receive the same training, salary, and social benefits as all our employees. This makes our partnership the best example of inclusion and equality in practice, proving that art, culture and creativity are the strongest drivers of intercultural dialogue and development.   To learn more about our partnership with ADERE, watch the video.   #OneFaberCastell #OneHumanity #WorldDayforculturalDiversity
