UNESCO
Non-profit
L'UNESCO, l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture, a été fondée le 16 novembre 1945. Pour cette agence spécialisée des Nations Unies, il ne suffit pas de construire des salles de classe dans des pays dévastés ou de faire connaître des avancées scientifiques. L’éducation, les sciences sociales et naturelles, la culture et la communication sont des moyens pour atteindre un objectif bien plus ambitieux : construire la paix dans l'esprit des femmes et des hommes.

The sound of a drum starts up, along with the scraping of a donkey's jawbone: the charrasca. Then, suddenly, silence. Rhythmic footsteps break through it and make themselves heard—louder, more united, and closer. The roar is clear, and so is their message.
