AS2 Assignment: UNESCO

UNESO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

Under UNESCO the United Nations works in the areas of Education, Natural Sciences, Social and Human Sciences, Culture, Communication and Information.

Go to the UNESCO site and begin exploring.



Create a graphic presentation in PowerPoint, Prezi, or similar format about UNESCO.

NOTE: Do not put too much information onto every page. Instead, put only one or two elements per page and then really develop, mostly with graphics and pictures, what that idea is about.

So for example (which you may not use): You have selected as one of you slides the UNESCO cause of the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Put it onto one page using nice big clear fonts. Write a very brief description of the goal and then use two or three graphic images to 'show' the goal. Then add a few other word elements to enhance the photos you provided. Be sure to include either with a few words or with images how the UNESCO is supporting that cause.

Your presentation should include the following:

• What are some of the ‘causes’ that UNESCO embraces? There are hundreds so you should present 5.

• What are 2 of the publications that UNESCO publishes? Be sure to give a brief explanation about what each publication is about.

• What are 3 of the events that UNESCO holds? Be sure to give a brief explanation about what each event is about.

• What are 3 of the resources that UNESCO offers to people?

• Explore ‘The List in Danger’ sites (on the right hand Global Strategy bar under ‘The List’) and complete a slide each for 2 sites that you currently think it the most at risk in the world right now. Be sure to include supporting evidence for your claim.

On your final 2 slides explore the following ideas:

• If you were offered a job with UNESCO, what do you think you’d like to do? Describe the duties and location of the job.

• Briefly explain ‘What is the World Heritage List’? (It appears under ‘The List’ on the main page.)
