UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. It seeks to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture. UNESCO's programmes contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals defined in Agenda 2030, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015.
Political and economic arrangements of governments are not enough to secure the lasting and sincere support of the peoples. Peace must be founded upon dialogue and mutual understanding. Peace must be built upon the intellectual and moral solidarity of humanity.
In this spirit, UNESCO develops educational tools to help people live as global citizens free of hate and intolerance. UNESCO works so that each child and citizen has access to quality education. By promoting cultural heritage and the equal dignity of all cultures, UNESCO strengthens bonds among nations. UNESCO fosters scientific programmes and policies as platforms for development and cooperation. UNESCO stands up for freedom of expression, as a fundamental right and a key condition for democracy and development. Serving as a laboratory of ideas, UNESCO helps countries adopt international standards and manages programmes that foster the free flow of ideas and knowledge sharing.

Des ONG solidaires face à la pandémie
Invitation à une réunion de présentation du rapport sur le projet solidarité d'ONG partenaires de l'UNESCO pour lutter contre
la pandémie.
Aux représentants des ONG partenaires de l’UNESCO,
Au printemps 2020, en début de pandémie et devant la catastrophe humaine qui s’annonçait, un groupe d’ONG partenaires
a décidé en toute transparence et ponctuellement de mutualiser les remontées d'information du terrain et de soutenir les associations locales.
Ce projet a donné lieu à un rapport qui met en avant le formidable élan de solidarité mondial de la société civile et la
force de proposition des ONG pour définir des futures priorités post-COVID. Ce rapport a reçu un très bon
accueil de la part de la Directrice générale et le projet bénéficie par ailleurs du soutien de M. J. Y. Le Saux et du secteur SHS qui a écrit et publié un article sur le site UNESCO. (en
anglais).
Vous pouvez télécharger le rapport du projet ici.
C’est ce rapport de solidarité qui témoigne
du dynamisme du partenariat entre ONG et avec l'UNESCO dans différents pays face à des situations inédites que nous souhaiterions vous présenter lors d’une rencontre virtuelle par
zoom
le 10 mars 2021 à 12h
CET
