Working with UNESCO as staff member, intern or volunteer, means working towards a better world and building peace through knowledge exchange, social progress, and mutual understanding among people. UNESCO Bangkok is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s regional bureau for Education whose work in the field of education, natural science, social and human science, culture and communication has a bearing on the lives of almost two-thirds of the world’s population in 47 member countries across the Asia-Pacific region.
UNESCO Bangkok offers opportunities for people with determination and motivation to help the Organization achieving its goals. The Organization is active in fields such as:
- Achieving the six goals of Education for All? Our staff takes part in the “Global Action Week for EFA” to raise visibility of quality public education and call for increased financial support for EFA.
- Safeguarding World Cultural and Natural Heritage, Underwater Cultural Heritage and Intangible Cultural Heritage, and fostering Creativity and Diversity of Cultural Expressions and Intercultural Dialogue and a Culture of Peace in the Asia-Pacific region. Our flagship programmes serve the regional needs for national capacity-building, policy standard-setting, international cooperation and knowledge sharing.
- Promoting human rights through “Protecting the Freedom of Expression”? UNESCO has proclaimed 3 May of every year as the World Press Freedom Day, and our staff is working to promote freedom of opinion and expression through any media regardless frontiers.
