I completed the “Rapid Teacher Training Programme on Distance, Open and Online Learning” from UNESCO Open Learning in November 2021. The course was very informative and helped me understand how to use digital tools effectively for remote education. It was a great opportunity to learn from a global platform supported by UNESCO.
★★★★★ A Masterpiece of Modernism & A Profound Illumination of History at UNESCO Paris! The UNESCO Headquarters in Paris is far more than just an office building; it is a truly captivating and historically significant landmark that deserves every one of its five stars. Located at 7 Place de Fontenoy, its architecture alone is an attraction, a testament to post-war optimism and international collaboration. Designed by a brilliant trio of architects – Marcel Breuer (Hungary/USA), Bernard Zehrfuss (France), and the ingenious structural engineer Pier Luigi Nervi (Italy) – and overseen by an international committee of greats like Le Corbusier, the building, inaugurated in 1958, is a striking example of modernism. Its iconic Y-shape (or "three-pointed star") on pilotis, the dramatic "accordion" roof of the General Conference building, and the masterful use of reinforced concrete are a visual symphony of form and function. Beyond its architectural splendor, the UNESCO building is a profound cultural attraction. It houses an astonishing collection of world-class art, seamlessly integrated into its spaces. Visitors can discover masterpieces by legends such as Picasso, Miró, Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, and many others, transforming the complex into a living museum. Furthermore, the tranquil Japanese garden designed by Isamu Noguchi, and the later Meditation Space by Tadao Ando, offer serene oases of reflection that perfectly embody UNESCO's mission of peace and understanding. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, an art lover, or simply curious about the vital work of this global organization, a visit to the UNESCO building is an inspiring and enriching experience that truly illuminates the spirit of human endeavor. Currently, the UNESCO building is host to a magnificent and deeply impactful exhibition titled "They Told the World About It," dedicated to female journalists and photographers of the Spanish Civil War. This exhibition is a powerful and necessary testament to the courage and dedication of nearly 200 women who defied convention to report from the front lines of one of the 20th century's most brutal conflicts (1936-1939). It provides a crucial lens into their journalistic efforts, bringing their often-overlooked contributions into the vital light they deserve. The urgency of this exhibition cannot be overstated; by reclaiming these voices, it connects us directly to the fight against fascism and the crucial role of truth in times of upheaval, a message incredibly relevant today. The exhibition compellingly traces key events like the horrific bombings of Guernica and Madrid, which famously inspired Picasso's monumental "Guernica", a painting that remains a universal cry against barbarity. The exhibition delves into the profound impact of the Spanish Civil War on both the combatants and, crucially, the civilian population – a tragic precursor to the global conflict that would soon follow. The show meticulously highlights figures such as Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998), a pioneering American war correspondent who, with her relentless drive, documented the civilian experience, the hospitals, refugee shelters, and devastated towns, offering a profoundly human perspective distinct from many male reporters of her time. Her tenacity, famously stowing away on a hospital ship to report on D-Day, began with her groundbreaking coverage in Spain. The unique, often surrealist-influenced eye of Hungarian photographer Kati Horna (1912-2000) is also vividly presented. Horna, a friend of Robert Capa, focused her lens not on the battlefield's direct violence, but on the devastating effect of the war on ordinary people in scarred cities like Barcelona and Madrid – her images of elderly women, children, and mothers are both heartbreaking and visionary...

UNESCO: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. A visit to UNESCO in Paris is both inspiring and enriching.

The modern architecture of the headquarters is impressive, offering a unique contrast to the historic surroundings of Paris. The guided tour provides fascinating insights into UNESCO’s initiatives and contributions to preserving world heritage and fostering international cooperation.
Oh, it was incredible experience to visit UNESCO. They have a small garden with Eiffel tower view. They are growing a lot of vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc. they have Japanese garden where you can seat and enjoy the view. Also there is a great dining room with surprising view - Eiffel Tower! I strongly recommend to visit this place for everybody.
