On Saturday 19 October 2013, UNESCO-UNEVOC joined the United Nations Day celebration on the Market Square in Bonn, Germany. In the context of the United Nations International Year of Water Cooperation, the theme of this year’s UN Day was 8:0 for development– Water connects. The objective of the International Year of Water Cooperation
is to raise awareness, both on the potential for increased cooperation, and on the challenges facing water management in light of the increase in demand for water access, allocation and services.
UN Day marks the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations on 24 October, 1945. As the German UN city, hosting 18 UN organizations, Bonn has had the tradition of celebrating the anniversary with an all-day programme.
UNESCO-UNEVOC was represented together with the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) in Hamburg, with an information stand in the UN tent. The team of UNESCO-UNEVOC presented its activities and raised awareness of TVET issues through distributing biennial reports, brochures and leaflets and answering verbal inquiries. With reference to the Year of Water Cooperation, UNESCO-UNEVOC also shared a recent publication on Skills Challenges in the Water and Wastewater Industry. The event attracted over 20,000 people and provided UNESCO-UNEVOC with a great occasion to interact with citizens and visitors from Bonn.
