The Courier’s complete archives, since the first issue published in 1948, are accessible. More than 700 issues are available in English, French and Spanish. Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese and Russian versions are available beginning 2010. UNESCO Courier was started in 1948. 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 enjoys admiration of its loyal readers for decades, for its high journalistic standards and open-minded approach toward universal 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 (English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Chinese). A limited number of printed issues are also produced.
