During World War 2, governments from several European countries met in the UK to discuss ways to reconstruct education after the war. This led to the proposal to establish an international organization focused on education and culture. UNESCO was officially founded in 1945 with the aims of contributing to peace through education, science, culture and communication, and building solidarity among nations by promoting education, cultural diversity, freedom of expression and scientific cooperation.

2. 
 Firm belief of nations, forged by two world wars in
less than a generation, that political and economic
agreements are not enough to build a lasting peace.
Peace must be established on the basis of humanity’s
moral and intellectual solidarity.
Introducing UNESCO

3. 
 The development of UNESCO began in 1942, during
World War II, when the governments of several European
countries met in the United Kingdom for the Conference
of Allied Ministers of Education (CAME). During that
conference, leaders from the participating countries
worked to develop ways to reconstruct education around
the world once WWII was over. As a result, the proposal
of CAME was established that focused on holding a
future conference in London for the establishment of an
education and cultural organization from November 1-16,
1945.
