Summary/Abstract: As part of UNESCO, education is seen as a part of culture; at the same time, the educational and socializing effects of culture are brought to the fore. Unlike with other international organizations, UNESCO prioritizes the foundational effects of culture and the cultural character of education. Through this engagement, UNESCO’s conceptions of economics and culture differ from other organizations. Three basic publications are illustrative of this: the Faure report “Learning to Be” (1972), the Delors Report “Learning: the Treasure Within” (1996) and “Rethinking Education, Towards a Global Common Good? “(2015). The attempt to develop a human rights oriented framework is common to these studies.
