The UNESCO Courier

In 1948, the first issue of The UNESCO Courier rolled off the presses in Paris. One of the world’s first international journals had been born. Since then, UNESCO's quarterly magazine has brought its readers local perspectives on global issues from some of the world's leading thinkers. While it has changed a great ideal over the years, both in content and in form, it pursues its original mission: to promote UNESCO's ideals, maintain a platform for the dialogue between cultures and provide a forum for International debate.
