The University Twinning and Networking UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme aims to build capacity and promote international cooperation through the exchange of knowledge and resources in education, science, culture, and communication. More specifically, the main activities of the Programme can be described as:
- Enhancing global higher education and research through collaboration
- Partnering for Global goals and advancing UNESCO’s mission
- Addressing complex global challenges and emerging issues
- Fostering public debate and ethical reflections
As Founding UNESCO Chairholder Professor Fethi Mansouri stated:
“Ultimately, we hope to create a think tank and be a bridge builder between researchers, civil society, and policymakers interested in the critical issues of cultural diversity and social justice.
One of my many goals as UNESCO Chair will be ensuring cultural diversity is accepted and embraced as a core tenet of humanity.”
