#Art4GlobalGoals, an awareness campaign of UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for the Education for Children in Need, Dr. h.c. Ute-Henriette Ohoven and her YOU Foundation, in cooperation with Geuer & Geuer Art (Düsseldorf), aims to call through art for urgent action for the implementation of the Agenda-2030. Ute-Henriette Ohoven, in her mission for UNESCO focusses and promotes Quality Education, Gender Equality, Human Rights, in synergy with the UN 2030 Agenda at large, and UNESCO’s mandate in particular.
Rita Sabo, selected as the first female artist to embody the campaign, was chosen to interpret artistically the 17 SDGs for #Art4GlobalGoals. At the heart of this campaign stands her sculptural interpretation of our world as a global and holistic habitat: The Sacred Planet. As a symbol of worldwide justice, peace, equal opportunities, and gender equality The Scared Planet emphasizes the urgency of implementing the UN’s agenda by 2030 and calls for immediate action and support.
Within the exhibition, a visual symphony of 17 (+1) sculptures creates an atmosphere of contemplation about our shared future. Every sculptural entity emerges as a central piece from Rita Sabo’s artistic oeuvre embracing the SDG’s diverse color scheme. They stand as a testament to the profound interconnection of humanity’s destiny with the cosmic tapestry. Rooted in ancient sacred patterns, The Sacred Planet sculptures resonate with the divine beauty of our cosmology, reflecting the intricate harmony that pervades the universe. Each Sacred Planet serves as a reminder of the aspirations that humanity must embrace to surmount the challenges of our time. Therefore all 17 sculptures stand united in strict symmetrical brilliance, symbolizing humanity’s collective journey towards the action for the Sustainable Development Goals..
“We have global targets and time is short. If we don’t change our way of life and do not achieve the implementation of the Goals by 2030, our people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership are in great danger.” Ute-Henriette Ohoven
With the support of UNESCO the launch event of the Sacred Planet for #Art4GlobalGoals by Rita Sabo will take place at the
UNESCO House, Hall Ségur on Sept. 19th at 6pm. The launch event is followed by a short musical performance featuring Enola Cox.

After the course of reflection “From security to peace”, the Movement is proposing this year a colloquium entitled “Deconstructing hate speech”. It is a question of understanding the origins of these discourses, their modes of construction and above all of finding the means of acting to limit their production and scope. This symposium, built in an interreligious approach, is the result of a partnership between Pax Christi and the World Conference of Religions for Peace. Head of establishment, magistrate, police officer, journalist, academics, actors from the associative world will be invited to testify and to exchange during round tables and workshops.

Enlightened Human Resources The XVIII United Nations Career Roundtable that takes place at UNESCO’s Headquarters in Paris, gathering some three hundreds Human Resources specialists coming from all over the world, will be closed by the exhibition-event DANCER INSIDE PARIS of the photographer and architect Simone Ghera. He is from Rome, based in Berlin and has been a member of the CID, International Dance Council (NGO affiliated to UNESCO) for several years. His project DANCER INSIDE is supported by CID Paris Section
During the event, several ballet performances will be held by dancers of prestigious ballet Companies, accompanied by the pianist live music solo. The project DANCER INSIDE was presented already in the Palais des Nations in ONUG Geneva on 2020
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project "DANCER INSIDE" represents Ghera’s personal work and contains images of dancers from different countries, companies and academies, taken over several years (since 2008) during rehearsals and classes, backstage, outdoor locations based in significant architectural and historical premises. Each photograph represents the combination of two opposed but linked elements, which are the pillars of his project: Architecture and Dance. On one hand, Architecture embodies the cultural identity, the history, the geography, the religion of each place which is unique and different from all the other ones. On the other hand, Dance is a universal language that overcomes the national and cultural boundaries and can be understood by everyone. The combination of these two elements creates a synergetic work of art that aims at spreading the cultural diversity of the world through the universal language of dancers. The beauty of the world lies in its diversity and the artistic communication enables the public to understand it and appreciate it. This is the message that Ghera’s photographs want to convey, matching very well the overall mission of the United Nations and the diversity of its people. In particular in this very occasion, the performance of the ballerinas with their agility, elegance and lightness will be very inspirational for the staff working in Human Resources Management.
