The Unesco Courier

Since its creation in 1948, The UNESCO Courier is a key element of UNESCO’s identity as well as one of the most powerful tools for its humanistic mandate. In 1988, Sandy Koffler, the founder and first managing editor of the journal, said that: “Of all the journals published by the United Nations and its specialized institutions, The UNESCO Courier has always occupied first place for the number of its readers and the range of its audience.”

The magazine has changed a great deal over the years, both in content and in form. But it pursues its original mission: promote UNESCO’s ideals, maintain a platform for the dialogue between cultures and provide a forum for international debate.

Periodical, illustrated in colour
Format: 29.7 x 21 cm - One year subscription = 4 issues
