UNESCO

On 1 April, five of the eight Swedish UNESCO Chairs and Fanny Davidsson of the Swedish UNESCO Commission met on Zoom.

We agreed to have regular meetings to enhance collaboration between UNESCO Sweden and our Universities.

At a time of national crises around the world we need to strengthen every possible voice of global collaboration and solidarity! The current crisis does not only affect health care and the economy but even ways of communication, structures in global education and cultural values in peoples’ lives – these are the realms of UNESCO and they require responses in a UNESCO context.

It was agreed during the meeting that the planned UNESCO Day at Linnaeus University will be held during the autumn of 2020.
