In 2021, UNESCO is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the entry into force of its Constitution.
As a specialized agency of the United Nations, UNESCO – pursuant to its Constitution – contributes to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, and sustainable development as well as intercultural dialogue through education, sciences, culture, communication and information.
Since its founding, UNESCO has sought to collaborate with NGOs, which are fundamental civil society partners for the implementation of the Organization’s activities and programs. Over the years, UNESCO has built up a valuable network of cooperation with NGOs having an expertise in its fields of competence, i.e. education, science, social and human sciences, culture, communication and information.
The following themes will be highlighted during the conference
