United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

UNESCO - the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) "was founded on 16 November 1945. For this specialized United Nations agency, it is not enough to build classrooms in devastated countries or to publish scientific breakthroughs. Education, Social and Natural Science, Culture and Communication are the means to a far more ambitious goal : to build peace in the minds of men."
