Building peace in the minds of women and men
About us
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 women and men.

This week, UNESCO participates in an important gathering of the #G20 Sherpas. The Organization, represented by its sherpa Charaf Ahmimed, will be presenting the progress of its contribution, 6 months into its role as a privileged partner of #G20Brasil. These contributions include addressing climate disruption and the challenges of digital transformation, protecting biodiversity, and promoting inclusive scientific research. ➡️ When 150 million people a year could need humanitarian assistance due to floods, droughts, and storms by 2030; ➡️ When the rate of ocean warming doubled in 20 years; ➡️ When 1/3 of the global population lacks reliable Internet access; ➡️ When only 28% of engineering graduates are women; There is an emergency to act. All of UNESCO's work is based on its Global Priorities, Gender Equality and Africa, and Priority Groups, youth and SIDS - because no one should be left behind on the road to development. By acting within the G20, UNESCO is determined to bring the planet a step closer to the sustainable development goals and the African Union's Agenda 2063.

Here is our update of the day! The #OlympicTorchRelay is passing through Nord-Pas de Calais Mining Basin, a UNESCO #WorldHeritage site since 2012! This landscape has been shaped by coal extraction from the 1700s to the 1900s, documenting the living conditions of workers and the solidarity to which it gave rise. It features mining pits, coal transport infrastructure, railway stations, workers’ estates and mining villages including social habitat, schools, town halls and more! Yesterday, it passed by Belfries of Belgium and France, inscribed on the UNESCO #WorldHeritage List since 1999. Through its passage, the torch was able to observe the Roman, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of architecture of these belfries, built between the 11th and 17th centuries.
