About UNESCO Brasilia

The representation of UNESCO in Brazil was formally initiated on 19 June 1964. Its main objective is to support the creation and implementation of public policies following the strategies of UNESCO Member States defined in the UNESCO General Conferences. Its actions occur through technical cooperation projects in partnership with various government levels and different sectors of civil society whenever their purposes contribute to public policies for sustainable development related to themes of expertise that UNESCO works on.
