The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was founded in 1945 after the Second World War to help create lasting peace based on the “intellectual and moral solidarity of mankind.” Its goal is to strengthen our shared humanity by promoting education, science, culture, and communication. UNESCO works to achieve this by developing educational tools, preserving cultural heritage, promoting equal dignity among cultures, addressing social and ethical challenges, and running scientific programs and policies. UNESCO plays an important role in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education. Over the years, UNESCO has carried out projects with themes like science for sustainable development initiatives, education for a brighter future, 3D technology to digitally preserve heritage sites, and bolstering cultural industries (e.g., African film programs). The organization helps shape policies, set international standards, encourage cooperation, and build the capacities of member states in education. UNESCO is committed to building peace, ending poverty, and promoting intercultural dialogue through education, science, and culture.
