World Science Day for Global Understanding<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is it?<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0World Science Day for Peace and Development<\/a>\u00a0draws\u00a0attention to the important role\u00a0of science in and for society and\u00a0shows that science, peace and development are interlinked.\u00a0By tying science more closely to society, World Science Day for Peace and Development strives to ensure that people are informed of new scientific developments. Objectives of World Science Day for Peace and Development are to promote solidarity for shared science around the world, to use science to benefit societies, and to draw attention to the challenges that science faces. We invite everyone to take place in celebrating science on this day. The success of the World Science Day for Peace and Development is based on the active involvement of many partners, including civil society, scientific and research institutions, professional associations, the media, science teachers and schools.<\/p>\n

What’s this year’s theme?<\/strong>
\nThis year’s theme is “Science for Global Understanding”. Global Understanding is key to\u00a0peace and sustainable development in that it promotes\u00a0knowledge sharing among people for action and change. Science is thus central to Global Understanding, as it\u00a0not only helps us to understand the world and each other but\u00a0assists\u00a0in designing, developing and implementing the change we aim for.<\/p>\n

How can I participate?<\/strong>
\nIt’s easy to be part of this year’s World Science Day for Peace and Development! You can start as small as\u00a0telling people about this day and incorporating its message into speeches, lectures or discussions you attend. Taking\u00a0it a step further, you can organize an event like an open house of your institution, a visit to a science museum or a classroom discussion. Make sure to connect with others and to spread the message about the importance of science for sustainable societies using\u00a0#worldscienceday<\/strong>\u00a0and following@UNESCO\u00a0<\/strong>on Facebook and Twitter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
