In the Face of War, a Year of Action in Ukraine

As a result of the war in Ukraine, UNESCO has mobilised to denounce violence against journalists, promote the importance and therefore the protection of cultural institutions, and work for the maintenance of education to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities in Ukraine. From 6 to 11 July 2022, a UNESCO mission went to Ukraine to consolidate an initial assessment of the impact of the war on Ukraine’s culture sector, coordinate the Organization’s support in this field with the government authorities and partners, and define priorities for recovery and reconstruction.
