About UNESCO Brussels

Since February 2011, the UNESCO Liaison Office in Brussels and UNESCO Representation to the European Union (EU) contributes to represent UNESCO towards the European Institutions, to advocate for UNESCO’s mandate and increase the visibility of UNESCO’s programmes and activities, with the aim of achieving the SDGs through strengthening the UNESCO-EU partnership.

The European Union is one of the first largest donor to UNESCO. This unique partnership takes the shape of a wide range of projects undertaken across the world, in particular in the areas of mutual interest covering all UNESCO’s fields of competencies such as culture, education, freedom of expression and equal access to information, environment, water and oceans, as well as a bolstered scope of policy dialogue. Together, UNESCO and the European Union ensure that no one is left behind!
