It’s another UNESCO destination for the #OlympicTorchRelay! Today it is passing through Le Havre, the city rebuilt by Auguste Perret, a UNESCO #WorldHeritage Site since 2005. Located on the English Channel in Normandy, Le Havre was rebuilt between 1945 and 1964 after it was severely bombed during WorldWar Two. The city was reconstructed based on the plan of a team headed by Auguste Perret, and is now an outstanding post-war example of urban planning and architecture 🏙➡️ https://lnkd.in/eWnvBCG6

Youth is the strength of societies. 💪 Ten years ago, the UN established World Youth Skills Day to highlight the importance of equipping young people with essential skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. As we celebrate its 10th anniversary, we reflect on progress and the need to adapt to changing educational and labor markets.
