GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

PATRIMONIO / PATRIMOINE = “HERITAGE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have a post about the United Nations Education Science Communication Organization known as UNESCO.

I have without knowing made a reference in a previous post to UNESCO by mentioning one of the things that UNESCO is responsible for and that is the post about World Heritage sites that were also “Wonders of the World”.

I did not know anything about UNESCO until yesterday’s post about Yellowstone National Park and through the research of the post’s subject matter for the interesting facts, I learned that and with the 10th fact shared mentioned the designation of Yellowstone being a “World Heritage Site”.

The definition of a “World Heritage Site” and additional interesting facts about UNESCO are below:

World Heritage Sites: One of UNESCO’s most well-known initiatives is its World Heritage Sites program. There are over 1,100 sites globally, ranging from cultural landmarks (like the Pyramids of Egypt) to natural wonders (like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia).

Founded in 1945: UNESCO was created in the aftermath of World War II to promote peace through educational, scientific, and cultural cooperation. The idea was to foster international understanding to prevent future conflicts.

Global Education Advocate: UNESCO advocates for quality education worldwide. It works to ensure that education is accessible to everyone, particularly marginalized groups, such as girls and people with disabilities.

Languages and Linguistic Diversity: UNESCO recognizes the importance of language and cultural diversity. It has declared 2008-2017 as the "International Decade for the Promotion of a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World." They also work to preserve endangered languages and promote multilingualism.

Intangible Cultural Heritage: UNESCO also protects traditions, performing arts, rituals, and other intangible cultural practices. Examples include flamenco from Spain, yoga from India, and the French culinary art of "gastronomy."

International Collaboration: UNESCO is based in Paris, France, but has offices around the world and partners with governments, universities, NGOs, and other international organizations. It works on a wide variety of issues including climate change, gender equality, and media freedom.

Freedom of Expression: UNESCO is a key player in promoting freedom of expression and a free press. It supports the safety of journalists and the free flow of information across borders, recognizing that a free press is essential to democracy and human rights.

UNESCO Goodwill Ambassadors: Many famous individuals, including musicians, actors, and artists, have been appointed as UNESCO Goodwill Ambassadors to help raise awareness for its causes. Some of these ambassadors include Angelina Jolie, Shakira, and Herbie Hancock.

Science for Sustainability: UNESCO is involved in promoting science and research that helps countries tackle global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and access to clean water.

Specialized Agencies: UNESCO is one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations, with a mandate that crosses many disciplines, from education and science to culture and communication.

For an organization that I just found out about yesterday, I must say that I can appreciate all of the facts above and would like to see more organizations and individuals with a similar list of priorities or at least an appreciation for those who put forth effort towards some of the things that UNESCO is known for.
