A film by UNESCO, “UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme: Connecting minds in a network of hope”, offers an inspiring look at the people, partnerships and ideas that bring the global network to life. The film showcases how UNESCO Chairs and UNITWIN Networks around the world connect universities, researchers and communities across borders. It highlights the importance of international academic cooperation in sharing knowledge, building capacity and developing solutions to global challenges.

For our UNESCO Chair, this international network is particularly meaningful. Our work connects partners across Switzerland, South Africa and beyond, rooted in the belief that collaboration across countries, disciplines and contexts can create lasting impact.

Being part of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme means being part of a global community that brings together knowledge and experience from different parts of the world. The film captures this spirit of connection and cooperation.
