Go to the UNESCO Education Portal.
There is a new look and feel to the UNESCO Education Portal. The portal is the first to adopt the new look and feel being developed for the UNESCO website.
UNESCO’s goal is to harmonize graphics, navigation, and ergonomy to help its website users learn how to easily find information on UNESCO activities. The new design features a “tab system” for navigation on the top of the page. A simplified navigation reduces graphics to a minimum, which is important for developing country users who often have slow and expensive connections to the Internet. The new design also provides greater accessibility across different browsing softwares and operating systems.
The Education portal is now available in Spanish, in addition to English and French.

UNESCO Celebrates The Arts Education Week
Within the framework of "Education For All" and "Quality Education" goals, as well as in support of strategies to safeguard cultural diversity, UNESCO is endeavouring to mainstream the arts, creativity and culture in educational systems throughout the world. Encouraging development of the arts by means of art education is one way of promoting cultural diversity. Young people are a natural target for action programmes aimed at bringing about democratization in art and culture. The teaching of artistic and cultural disciplines should therefore be encouraged: not only music and the plastic arts but also dance, theatre, poetry and the oral tradition.

UNESCO, Google and Litcam launch The Literacy Project
The Literacy Project, a web-based resource for teachers, literacy organizations and anyone interested in the promotion of reading and education, was launched in conjunction with the start of the Frankfurt Book Fair on October 4th, 2006. The Literacy Project enables users to access and share literacy resources from around the world - from e-learning videos and books about literacy, to scholarly articles, reading groups, and literacy-related blogs. Visitors can also use the Google Maps function to search for literacy organizations around the globe. The site is available in both English and German.
The aim of this site reflects one of the key missions of UNESCO, and in particular of its Institute for Lifelong Learning: "to promote literacy, build capacity and enhance access to information about the issue", said Adama Ouane, Director, UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL).
Google has already invited academic communities all over the world to join the initiative. They can do that by uploading different educational projects, in video or written form.
