SEIZE THE DAY! It’s 2012 & here are our resolutions! j.mp/spGejp

We hear people calling, louder than ever, for new solutions for peace & development. We promise to build a better UNESCO for all

In 2012, let's make sure schools aren't used to reinforce the intolerance & prejudices that lead to war.

2012 will also be the year of landmark Rio+20 – the UN Conference on Sustainable #Development uncsd2012.org

Support these brands that are helping adolescent girls learn to read! 2/3 of world’s illiterate adults = women j.mp/uRQerM

FACT: Rape & sexual violence are often war tactics, keeping girls out of school

In 2012, let's look at creating ‘green societies,’ not just ‘green economies’

DO THE MATH: 6 days of military spending by rich countries = 16 billion USD that could go toward #education. #unescoED

#2011InReview: UNESCO welcomed new members in 2011: #SouthSudan & #Palestine

In 2012, water shouldn’t have to be a luxury for so many people in the world. Water is a human right #unescoSCIENCE

FACT: In many conflict-affected countries, over 60% of the population is aged under 25 #unescoYOUTH

21 countries spend more on military than on basic #education. Cut military spending by 10% = 9.5 million more children in school

#2011InReview: We’re proud of our accomplishments to make #education a #HumanRight

@forestwhitaker In 2012: Hope deeply. Live strongly. Recognize that we are one. The oneness of humanity rules the day.

FOR THE RECORD: UNESCO condemns intolerant statements in a magazine associated to its name & requests response from Palestinian Authority

@forestwhitaker : From #ArabSpring to @OccupyWallSt ppl ask 2B included in the world's abundance. Humanity is ONE. j.mp/vD2bhl

OFFICIAL: UNESCO statement on Palestinian children's magazine, Zayzafouna j.mp/rC5mbL

In #Chile, 84% of higher #education costs are covered by families - the highest in the world. #Education is a human right #unescostat
