EDUCATION

Denmark

Denmark joined UNESCO on November 4, 1946. In the field of education, the “Nordic Memorandum of Understanding” signed in 2003 between UNESCO and Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden provides an umbrella for subsequent individual agreements that will depart from traditional extra-budgetary funding approaches towards Education for All.

This new approach is intended to be a comprehensive and collaborative effort in support of capacity- building for EFA. The country holds a UNESCO Chair.

A variety of international, regional and national partners have been invited to participate in the first planning meeting for CONFINTEA VI on 1 and 2 March 2007 in Elsinore, Denmark. CONFINTEA is the only significant platform at the international level for a political dialogue and renewed commitment to adult education. It is also the most powerful forum led by UNESCO grouping partners from international organizations to trade unions and private business. CONFINTEA VI is also expected to enhance UIL’s leadership in literacy, non-formal education, adult and lifelong learning, as UNESCO’s specialized institute in the field.
