Today is UNESCO's celebration birthday. The organization was founded on the 16th november 1945.
So happy birthday and hope you'll continue to make an impact and build resilience in local communities around the world. We have never needed an organization like yours so much in these increasingly uncertain times.
UNESCO uses education, science, culture, communication and information to foster mutual understanding and respect for our planet. We work to strengthen the intellectual and moral solidarity of humankind. We bring people together around the conviction of our shared humanity.

The global issues we face are challenging and interconnected. They can seem insurmountable. But if you know where to look, co-operation, positive change and hope are all around us. Build Beyond Even Better is a project that recognises the progress being made, and the amazing people who are making a difference. Share your own hopes, pledges and projects with #BBEB, or become a contributor.
