In response to the 2020 pandemic, UNESCO has launched a series of online forums entitled ‘Imagining the world to come’. The purpose of this initiative is to give a voice to those whose views may not have been sufficiently heard and to use the takeaways to inform UNESCO’s strategic reflections, ensuring that programmes ongoing meet the needs of our changing world.
Learn more about ‘Imagining the world to come’ here and watch the forums on UNESCO’s Youtube channel.
