Social and Human Sciences

The purpose of the Social and Human Sciences (SHS) Unit is not to solve the challenges all together in the short or medium terms; but to trigger and support a collective attempt in understanding them from a new angle. UNESCO works to elaborate new ways to reflect and to act on the complex challenges, including in a participatory approach with the populations, and to model and test practices and approaches that are pluri-disciplinary and based on a multi-stakeholder engagement.

Our assumption is that a 21^st century society that is sustainable, healthy, and inclusive requires the peoples to actively enquire on, to anticipate, and to take part in defining and implementing what really matters for the improvement of their quality of life.
