â–ª Education for all, regardless of gender ““ the keenest weapon against ignorance, fanaticism and for a better economic development (development of partnerships between States, institutions, universities“¦)
â–ª Heritage, more than a treasure - a responsibility to protect, conserve and bequeath by taking a stand against destruction and for natural, linguistic, material and immaterial diversity.
â–ª Science at the service of Humankind, with a particular attention paid to sustainable development and making knowledge as well as scientific and technological expertise accessible to the greatest number.
â–ª Freedom of expression and the free flow of information - key rights to defend and ceaselessly uphold, fighting all freedom of expression violations against journalists, creators or artists.
â–ª The bolstering of UNESCO´s prime vocation - through the revival of debate and reflections between the world´s intellectual elites and the intensification of UNESCO´s good governance and resource development, with full transparency.
