Unesco and the Statue of Liberty
UNESCO
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was set up by the United Nations in 1946 to promote international peace, security and development through cooperation among nations in the areas of education, science, culture, and communication. UNESCO focuses mainly on issues in Africa and gender equality. It also concentrates on providing educational opportunities to each and every one. One example of this is how UNESCO and UNICEF together implemented education for nomads in six African countries. UNESCO also aims to keep a list of world heritage sites. These sites are important natural or historical sites which preservation and protection are considered important for the world community.
