UNESCO Director-General arrives in Cuba today

HAVANA, Dec 4 (ACN) Mrs. Audrey Azoulay, Director General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), arrives today in Cuba on an official visit where she will hold a meeting with the Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodriguez, and carry out other activities.

Mrs Audrey Azoulay, born on August 4, 1972, in Paris, France, was elected UNESCO Director-General in 2017.
She has presumably initiated a broad program of Strategic Transformation of the organization, aimed at positioning it at the center of the challenges of the 21st century, allowing it to respond to the great challenges of these times.
As part of her work as head of this international body, she has launched several projects: the protection of cultural heritage through the Reviving the Spirit of Mosul initiative in Iraq, the achievement of the goal of quality education for all, especially for girls and women, and the strengthening of UNESCO's role as a global laboratory of ideas and reflection on issues such as the development of artificial intelligence and its ethical implications.
She has also worked to foster children's access to culture through the implementation of artistic and cultural education programs (ongoing creation programs and innovative cultural infrastructure Microfolies).
Azoulay is committed to positioning UNESCO as a platform for humanist cooperation, as a setting for the production of standards and as an expert-based agency that contributes to diffusing knowledge and learning throughout the world and to as many people as possible.
