The UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training assists UN Member States to develop policies and practices concerning education for the world of work and skills development for employability and citizenship, in order to achieve: access for all; high quality, relevant and effective programmes; and learning opportunities throughout life.
In a meeting on 17 August 2012 held on the UNEVOC premises in Bonn, Germany, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) and UNEVOC agreed to collaborate at the occasion of the “UN Day” to be held in Bonn on Saturday, 20 October 2012, where they will host a joint stand. The day is dedicated to celebrating the 67th birthday of the United Nations (founded on 24 October 1945).
The public is warmly invited to join the celebrations in the City of Bonn and to meet UIL and other UN agencies at their stands. As usual, the Saturday festivities will be preceded by the so called “UN Talks” on Friday, 19 October, in the evening.
