Historical Background of UNESCO Club Movement
Symbolizing the enthusiasm and idealism of the people of several countries, the UNESCO Club movement grew up spontaneously following the creation of UNESCO. This is well illustrated by Japan, where the Clubs were born out of ruins of the immediate post-war period. The first UNESCO Club was set up in Sendai (Japan) on 19th July, 1947 followed by another in Kyoto (Japan) and at Steele Center in Denver (Colorado) in the United States of America in the same year. Very soon more than a hundred UNESCO clubs and Associations were formed, mostly is Japan and France. On the occasion of third anniversary of UNESCO’s founding (4th November, 1949) the then Director General of UNESCO launched an appeal for the creation of UNESCO Clubs in Secondary Schools and Universities. Following this appeal UNESCO Club movement gradually spread throughout the world. Presently there are over 5000 UNESCO Clubs & Associations in about 120 Countries.

What are UNESCO Clubs?
UNESCO Clubs are groups of people of all ages and social and professional backgrounds who share UNESCO’s ideals, endeavor to make it known and associate them with its work by undertaking activities directly inspired by those of UNESCO.
Why UNESCO Clubs?
Personal intellectual horizons are becoming wider very day. The man of the past was concerned merely with his village his town or his country, but the man of today has interest extending far beyond a purely national frame work. The more general availability of transport and the ideas and concepts spread by the media have given people a great longing to learn about foreign countries or ways of thought and expression that are different from their own. This curiosity goes hand in hand with awareness of the innumerable international problems and tensions that arise and of the need to resolve them in an atmosphere of mutual understanding trust and respect.
The UNESCO Clubs are for those moved by such curiosity and those who wish to satisfy it by trying to understand and to solve those problems in a spirit of solidarity.
What are the aims and the role of UNESCO Clubs?
The aims of UNESCO Clubs are those of UNESCO itself as proclaimed in its constitution, to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among the nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for Justice for the rule of law and for human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affimed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion by the Charter of the United Nations.
Although each Club has its own particular character, all have characteristics in common. They are the meeting place of individuals wishing to join together in a quest and in a wide variety of activities, in a climate of complete trust and tolerance, without discrimination based on sex, nationality, race, religion, social background or political opinion. They are the meeting place of those men and women of good will who regard world peace in terms of respect for human rights, development and cooperation.
The UNESCO Club may be considered as a centre for life long education. It plays a training role of the greatest importance for its members, for in addition to providing knowledge per se-something that may other associations also do-the club aims to get its members to think and to work with open-mindedness and an understanding of other people, whether close or far.
How to start a UNESCO Club?
There are no technicalities involved in opening a UNESCO Club or Association. Assemble a group of about 15 like minded people desirous to promote international understanding and to involve themselves in the programmes and activities of UNESCO. From an association of persons, give it an appropriate name, chalk out aims and objectives, adopt a constitution elect office bearers and executive council members. Topics of discussion meetings, venue of meetings, membership fees and other administrative matters can be decided with mutual consent of members in a democratic manner. Hold periodical meetings of members to discuss strategies fro implementing the progrmmes and activities.
School and ASPnet UNESCO Clubs: Under the chairmanship of the school Principal/Headmaster/ Headmistress, nominate a committee of five teachers or more; appoint/elect a leader to be designated as Director of UNESCO Club. Select an appropriate and district name. Inform the students about the purpose of a UNESCO Club and enroll the interested students as members. Appoint office bearers and executive committee members amongst the students. Hold periodical meetings, preferably once a fortnight or once a month, on a fixed day (like 2nd Friday or last Friday of the month). Select activities (like observation of International days. Year or Decades etc.) Invite a resource person or the school Principal to meetings. Prepare a short report and maintain a proper record of activities. At the beginning of a new academic year, hold fresh elections of office bearers and Executive committee members on the basis of their performance, interest shown in the activities etc. This will encourage students to take more interest in club activities.
