Lebanon is going through a terrible ordeal. France Télévisions is alongside the artists to organize on Thursday 1st October 2020 a great concert of support and solidarity for the benefit of Lebanon and its disaster-stricken population. UNESCO is responding to Beirut's enormous reconstruction needs through education and culture and is calling for donations.
UNESCO, of which Lebanon is a founding member, stands at your side to mobilize the international community and support the city's recovery through and for culture, heritage and education.
