What is UNESCO?
 

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) aimed at promoting world peace and security through international cooperation in education, arts, sciences and culture. UNESCO is a member of the United Nations Sustainable Development Group, a coalition of UN agencies and organizations aimed at fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals. It has 193 member states and 12 associate members, as well as partners in the non-governmental, intergovernmental and private sector. Headquartered in Paris, France, UNESCO has 53 regional field offices and 199 national commissions that facilitate its global mandate.
 

UNESCO was founded in 1945 as the successor to the Nations’ International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation. UNESCO’s founding mission, which was shaped by the Second World War, is to advance peace, sustainable development and human rights by facilitating collaboration and dialogue among nations. It pursues this objective through five major programmed areas: education, natural sciences, social/human sciences, culture and communication/information. UNESCO sponsors projects that improve literacy, provide technical training and education, advance science, protect independent media and press freedom, preserve regional and cultural history, and promote cultural diversity.
 

As a focal point for world culture and science, UNESCO’s activities have broadened over the years; it assists in the translation and dissemination of world literature, helps establish and secure World Heritage Sites of cultural and natural importance, works to bridge the worldwide digital divide, and creates inclusive knowledge societies through information and communication. UNESCO has launched several initiatives and global movements, such as Education For All, to further advance its core objectives.

What is USFUCA

​

US Associations and Clubs for UNESCO are groups of volunteers of different ages and socio-professional status who become activists in the service of UNESCO’s ideals.

​

Established under the aegis of the National Commissions for UNESCO, these entities are grouped into national, regional and international networks, for the purpose of acting in UNESCO’s fields of competence at the grass root level.

More than 75 years after the founding of the first UNESCO Association in 1947 in Japan, the movement has some 4,000 Associations and Clubs for UNESCO in nearly 80 countries around the world. 

The activities carried out by the Associations and Clubs are varied and depend, very often, on the interests of their members and also on the financial resources and means of action available. Irrespective of their nature and scope, these initiatives foster the dissemination of UNESCO’s principles and objectives in civil society. These entities therefore make it possible to publicize the values represented by the Organization in local communities. In the light of civil society’s growing role in public policy-making, the Clubs movement can play a key part in educating citizens, and can contribute to dialogue between cultures and generations for sustainable development.

​

At the national level, UNESCO Clubs are coordinated by US Federation of UNESCO Clubs and Associations. At the international level, the World Federation of UNESCO Clubs and Associations (WFUCA), as an international NGO maintaining official relations with UNESCO, is responsible for informing, coordinating and mobilizing its members, with UNESCO’s support and cooperation.

Clubs for UNESCO have three main functions: training, information and action. They take up a position on global problems with local repercussions and thus contribute to the process of reflection on social priorities.
