1. Definition

A global grass-roots movement, Clubs forUNESCO support UNESCO priorities by us-

ing a communitys own experience, skills and

outlook to foster peace and exchange. They

consist of groups of people from all ages,

from all walks of life and every background

who share a fi rm belief in UNESCOs ideals

as set out in its Constitution (see Annex ii).

Although they have features in common,

Clubs for UNESCO may take many differentforms; the nature of a Club is determined byits membership and by the conditions and social en

is called upon to operate.

Clubs for UNESCO fall into four main categories

- Clubs established in schools (whose memb

teachers in educational institutions) are at present

- Clubs operating

higher educational inst

ural sequel to school growing steadily in num

and often considerable, fi nancial resources de-

municipalities, foundations, groups of spon-sors).

It would be tedious to try to enumerate

the various sectors of the community in which

Clubs for UNESCO have been or can be formed;

the richness of the movement is due precisely

to its fl exibility and to the wide variety of pos-sible settings for its work.

The primary purpose of the Clubs is to de-

maximize the use of these valuable

networks and intermediaries.

to promote such exchanges. It

Dissemination of Information

A basic purpose of a Club for UNESCO is to increas

Clubs obtain and disseminate factual data about national a

1. How to set up a Club for UNESCO

Any person wishing to set up a Club should get in tNational Commission in the respective country (See Chap

Clubs and to determine the nature and extent of their act

legitimacy of activities that are undertaken by the Clubs,and Centres for UNESCO. In charge of helping to promote

use of the name and logo of UNESCO.

The following elements should be submitted to the Nmission for consideration:

There is also a practical reason why offi cers

essential: most Clubs must have a budget and to r

money. This is a fi eld in which the greatest care and

must be taken. In particular, a Club may have occgrant from a local authority, a government departm

Commission, when certain formalities will have to

proof of the Clubs serious intentions.

Legal status of Clubs for UNESCO

It is entirely to the advantage of Clubs for

UNESCO to acquire, under the laws applying in

their country to non-profi t-making cultural asso -

ciations (if these exist), the legal status that will

entitle them to offi cial recognition by the public

authorities. It is highly desirable that the National

Commission should advise them on this matter.

Resources of Clubs

Self-reliance should be the guiding principle

of Club management. It should be pointed out

that it is quite possible for a Club to be content

with activities that cost nothing but voluntary

efforts of many members.

Nevertheless, it will usually have to handle

some funds, even if they consist only of members

from public functions organized by the Club. It is

that Club members should wish to arrange edu

trips, and this will inevitably entail some expendi

although they may not wish to go to any great exp

to work out fi gures, prepare budget estimates a

reports. Besides, it is useful for young people to ga
