The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is a specialised agency of the United Nations (UN) aimed at promoting world peace and security through international cooperation in education, the sciences, and culture.
UNESCO developed a series of initiatives and programmes dedicated to sport policies, physical education and physical activities. These includes
- The Kazan Action Plan (click here for additional information)
- The Sport Education Partnership (SEP) Framework (click here for more information)
- The Youth and Sport Task Force (Click here for more information)
The Youth and Sport Task Force is another initiative of the UNESCO. It represents creative, passionate and innovative young leaders across Asia and the Pacific who use sport as a tool for positive social change in their communities.
The youth are in control. They design their own programmes, determine their own priorities and collectively, decide on the strategic direction of the Task Force. UNESCO supports the Task Force by providing opportunities for the members to promote and enhance their work by connecting with each other and with regional and global opportunities for growth and capacity building.
All programmes represented by the Task Force are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We are cultivating a community of young change-makers who are already making a big impact, by youth, with youth, for youth.
