International contacts Part 3

 I chose to analyze the UNESCO Early Childhood Care and Education website. I will briefly share some interesting information about the organization.

UNESCO is known as the "intellectual" agency of the United Nations -.
UNESCO strives to build networks among nations that enable this kind of solidarity, by:
  •  Mobilizing for education: so that every child, boy or girl, has access to quality education as a fundamental human right and as a prerequisite for human development.
  • Building intercultural understanding: through protection of heritage and support for cultural diversity. UNESCO created the idea of World Heritage to protect sites of outstanding universal value.
  • Pursuing scientific cooperation: such as early warning systems for tsunamis or trans-boundary water management agreements, to strengthen ties between nations and societies.
  • Protecting freedom of expression: an essential condition for democracy, development and human dignity - See more at: http://en.unesco.org/about-us/introducing-unesco#sthash.LltHjIY8.dpuf
UNESCO exists to bring this creative intelligence to life; for it is in the minds of men and women that the defences of peace and the conditions for sustainable development must be built - See more at: http://en.unesco.org/about-us/introducing-unesco#sthash.LltHjIY8.dpuf

  1. Hi Sandra,
    I think that it is absolutely wonderful that UNESCO works to ensure that every child has access to a quality education. Too me it was very lifting to see that this type of work is going on around the world.
