UNESCO Courier


The UNESCO Courier is the main magazine published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. It has the largest and widest-ranging readership of all the journals published by the United Nations and its specialized institutions.

History and profile

UNESCO Courier was started in 1948. There was a gap in publication from 2013 until 2017. The magazine has changed a great deal over the years, both in content and in form. But it pursues its original mission: promote UNESCO’s ideals, maintain a platform for the dialogue between cultures and provide a forum for international debate.
The printed UNESCO Courier covers issues of literacy, human rights, environment, culture, science and arts.
Available on line since March 2006, The UNESCO Courier serves readers scattered around the world: it is on PDF in the six official languages of the Organization. A limited number of printed issues are also produced.
