CHALLENGING GOAL

THIS ACADEMIC YEAR OUR LYCEE

WHAT IS UNESCO?
The question is being answered by Helen Mykhailenko
of Group 44-E who has prepared some information for
you.

UNESCO - the United Nations Educational,


Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) was founded on 16 November 1945. For this
specialized United Nations agency, it is not enough to
build classrooms in devastated countries or to publish
scientific breakthroughs. Education, Social and Natural
Science, Culture and Communication
are the means to a far more
ambitious goal: to
build peace in the
minds of men.

Today, UNESCO functions as a laboratory of ideas and a


standard-setter to forge universal agreements on
emerging ethical issues. The Organization also serves as
a clearinghouse – for the dissemination and sharing of
information and knowledge – while helping Member
States to build their human and institutional capacities in
diverse fields. In short, UNESCO promotes international
co-operation among its 193 Member States and six
Associate Members in the fields of education, science,
culture and communication.

UNESCO is working to create the conditions for genuine


dialogue based upon respect for shared values and the
dignity of each civilization and culture.
This role is critical, particularly in the face of terrorism,
which constitutes an attack against humanity. The world
urgently requires global visions of sustainable
development based upon observance of human rights,
mutual respect and the alleviation of poverty, all of which
lie at the heart of UNESCO’s mission and activities.
