UNESCO's slogan is "Building peace in the minds of men and women." This motto reflects the organization's core mission to foster international cooperation in education, science, culture, and communication to promote peace and security.
UNESCO emphasizes that lasting peace is not solely based on political and economic agreements but must be built upon intellectual and moral solidarity. Therefore, its work aims to:
- Promote education: Improving access to quality education for all, fostering global citizenship and sustainable development.
- Advance science: Encouraging scientific collaboration, innovation, and the use of science to address global challenges.
- Protect culture: Preserving cultural heritage, promoting cultural diversity, and fostering intercultural dialogue.
- Foster communication and information: Promoting freedom of expression, media development, and access to information and knowledge.
By coordinating international efforts in these areas, UNESCO strives to create a world where individuals and societies are equipped to build peace and understanding.
