“Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.”

- Article 27 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Paris Conference will also feature a number of Special Events to mark the 60th anniversary. These include a story telling project which is being sponsored by the Institute for the Development of Education, Arts and Leisure, featuring stories of personal experiences on different aspects of human rights. We invite you to click on HUMAN RIGHTS STORIES FROM THE FIELD for more.

There will also be art displays which will be shown at UNESCO and outside the Conference Hall. Among the art exhibits being planned is a History of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which consists of 9 panels displayed in French and English and sketches on Human Rights themes by International cartoonists both sponsored by the UN Department of Public Information. NGO displays will include 20 posters promoting Human Rights submitted by Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, 14 photos depicting Forced Disappearances in Argentina, and eight Ribbons of peace, art cloth panels depicting different aspects of Human Rights.
