UNESCO Canadian Commission

RTAM has partnered with UNESCO Canadian Commission and their school-based programs in Manitoba. This is a volunteer and mentorship based program through the UNESCO Schools Network, where RTAM supports UNESCO and Manitoban Schools with teachers no longer working in the classroom.

Established by the United Nations, the United Nations Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO) Schools Network was created in 1953. Students and educators collaborate on common themes and projects focused on global citizenship, sustainable development and reconciliation.

Manitoba was the first province in Canada to initiate the UNESCO Schools Network in 2002, with five schools. UNESCO schools are part of an international network of 12,500 schools in 182 countries.
