The project
Since its creation, UNESCO’s aim has been to support global access to education, to fulfill its mandate of building peace through international cooperation in the fields of education, science and culture.
UNESCO and the ENGIE Foundation have launched the Campus program to help young people better understand major contemporary issues and their role as young citizens.
Drawing on the knowledge of various UNESCO and civil society players, experts in their fields (technology, education, science, etc.), the UNESCO Campuses aim to tackle today’s challenges with middle and high school students in the form of a free, horizontal discussion.

IMPACT: The UNESCO CAMPUSES have reached 25,000 young people since 2014, including 5,500 young people who have taken part in the online Campuses (for a total of 145 countries reached).
