Culture is not merchandise!

UNESCO

Culture is not merchandise! / Sites & monuments, works of art, antiquities & archaeological objects are unique resources for constructing the identity of peoples. When cultural artifacts are pillaged, people's identities and pasts are stolen. It is seriously detrimental, and often irreversibly so, to collective memory & social cohesion. Fight the trafficking of cultural artifacts by refusing to buy goods of questionable provenance. Support our campaign - www.BeAResponsibleTraveller.com #TravelDontTraffic / by UNESCO

Learning To Live Together

UNESCO

Learning To Live Together / The Asia-Pacific is home to over half of the world’s population and a multitude of different cultures, yet conflicts due to cultural differences are rife in the region.We have to learn to live together; passive coexistence & tolerance aren't enough today. Young people from the region share what this concept means in our exhibit at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre: http://ow.ly/p0CwW / by UNESCO

The Power of Literacy

UNESCO

The Power of Literacy / It’s easy to take the ability to read and write for granted, but millions of people around the world lack even the basic literacy skills needed to read a newspaper, send an SMS or even sign their name. UNESCO works with partners all over the world to ensure everyone has the access to literacy education that they deserve. That’s Education for All. / by UNESCO

World Heritage in Conflict Zones

UNESCO

World Heritage in Conflict Zones / A number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites have been deliberately damaged, during conflict, to fuel hatred & block reconciliation. Our work in rehabilitating sites implies much more than architectural repairs -- it's about values, identities & belonging. We need to protect culture from attack. Protecting culture is protecting people, their way of life & providing them with essential resources to rebuild when war ends. / by UNESCO

Invest in Creativity & Transform Societies

UNESCO

Invest in Creativity & Transform Societies / Culture is strong thanks to the passion of cultural entrepreneurs, artists, producers and the great spectrum of talented people engaged in the creative economy. With double-digit growth globally, creative industries can help generate jobs and income, especially for developing countries. That’s why we created the Int’l Fund for Cultural Diversity -- it finances projects that foster the emergence of local cultural sectors & strengthens cultural industries. Discover our many success stories! / by UNESCO
