The UNESCO Courier
UNESCO at 80
On 4 November 1946, UNESCO’s Constitution entered into force. Eighty years later, the Organization continues to pursue its foundational mission: building peace through education, science, culture, and information. But what does this ideal mean in today’s world, faced with unprecedented challenges?
In this anniversary issue, The UNESCO Courier revisits eight decades of commitment and achievements. From lives transformed by education to heritage safeguarded, and from scientific cooperation to the promotion of cultural diversity, it sheds light on the initiatives and the people who bring this shared vision to life across the world.
