UNESCO Goodwill Ambassadors play a crucial role in promoting the organization’s ideals through their fame and expertise.
One of their primary responsibilities is raising awareness about UNESCO’s goals and initiatives.
They achieve this by participating in events, projects, and discussions that highlight the importance of education, science, culture, and communication.
In addition to raising awareness, these ambassadors serve as advocates for specific causes, focusing on issues such as education and cultural diversity using their influence to draw attention to these important topics.
Furthermore, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassadors enhance the visibility of the organization’s work by engaging with decision-makers and the general public.
