As a specialized agency of the United Nations, UNESCO contributes to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information. As a global organization, it provides a forum for international debate, the establishment of global standards and indicators, the sharing of ideas, analysis and experience, and the assessment of results. Its broad-base mandate offers tremendous opportunities to develop interdisciplinary approaches in its fields of expertise.
This seminar, organised by the UK National Commission for UNESCO in Scotland, will explore current issues of best practice in international development from an interdisciplinary perspective, in a Scottish context. Through a series of case studies and workshops, this seminar will engage participants in reflecting about their own practice and experience about what constitutes best practice in international development today.
Registration Fee: £20
Student concession: £7
