3-18 November 2015: Session of the General Conference of UNESCO in Paris
This year’s session of the General Conference of UNESCO coincided with the 70th anniversary of the functioning of the United Nations. The conference, which is held every 2 years, takes the key decisions for the organization. This session highlighted the important role of UNESCO in the implementation of the development agenda for 2030 on the subjects of education, halting the wave of extremism and combating xenophobia. The development agenda will replace the former Millennium Development Goals (aimed at poverty, HIV/AIDS and education) from 2016 onwards.
