Goodwill Ambassadors

Through the actions of its Goodwill Ambassadors, Artists for Peace and Champions, UNESCO raises public awareness of its mandate and programmes. Once appointed, these personalities agree to use their talent and fame to carry high UNESCO’s values and goals, through the events that they organize, the projects that they carry out and the debates in which they participate.
