Tagline Bullets marked our past. Education will write our future
Story War in Colombia has been going on since 1958. With more than 6 million victims in the last 30 years, but this year with the sign of the peace agreement; education received a higher budget than war. And the Ministry of National Education wants to spread the news.Amidst the political debate, we needed the press take our side and start talking about the great things peace will bring to Colombia.
We captured their attention, by turning an element of war into one of peace: The Bulletpen. And making in it the symbol of our message: “Bullets marked our past. Education will write our future”
We offered it to journalists, writers and opinion leaders,
Most of whom are writing and drawing with the “Bulletpen” their own idea of a Colombia in peace.
And then, everybody wrote with and about it:
The Mayor of Bogotá and the President of Colombian
The OEA General Secretary
Every single national and international communication media. 
Philosophy To remind everyone that the future of our country in peace lies in education, we decided to create a unique Christmas gift, turning an element of war into one of peace.
The Bulletpen.
We transformed bullets into pens as a symbol of our message:
“Bullets marked our past. Education will write our future”
