United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

While UNESCO clubs are very popular in Europe, with around 280 clubs in France, Spain and Germany alone, only a handful exist in the US. The purpose of such a club is to “defend and promote science, culture and education as a way of bringing people together”.

A UNESCO club has the following goals:
Informing both the members and the general public by disseminating information about national and world issues.

Taking action and implementing activities to promote and apply the values of UNESCO

A UNESCO club can undertake a large variety of projects such as the Tesla Memory project, political debates, humanitarian work, etc.
