Our Stories

Find out how UNESCO is making an impact and building resilience in local communities around the world.

Listening to the voices of girls and women

Magdalena Cox Xum is the youngest of a family of four girls and five boys living in San Andrés Xecul in Totonicapán, Guatemala. In this region, only 35% of school-age girls attend primary school and 1% of girls aged 12 to 21 pursue secondary education.

Helping young girls realize their potential and dreams

Marshet Zelalem grew up in a rural village in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. In elementary school, she lacked confidence and felt she could not do as well as the boys in her class.

Lake Chad Initiative Creates Green Jobs for Local Communities

Enabling the inhabitants to live and work serenely on the shores of Lake Chad is the ambitious goal of the BIOPALT (Biosphere and Heritage of Lake Chad) project.

In Albania, rebuilding trust in journalism

According to journalists themselves, trust in the media is low in Albania. The loss of their audience has caused the media to become dependent on the powerful or the rich, who in turn buy "the truth".

Our Data

As the official statistical agency of UNESCO, the UIS produces a wide range of indicators in UNESCO’s fields of action by working with national statistical offices, line ministries and other statistical organizations.

Our History

75 years of history in the service of peace!

A history in the service of our common humanity.

With the birth of UNESCO in the aftermath of two world wars, a simple but firm conviction was settled: political and economic agreements between states are not enough to build lasting peace. UNESCO therefore recognises that reconciliation and development require stronger foundations, deeply rooted in social interactions, and built on intellectual and moral solidarity.
