The 10th Annual Meeting of the UNESCO Goodwill Ambassadors took place in June 2010, at the UNESCO’s Headquarters in Paris. It was the first official meeting of the Ambassadors with the new Director-General of UNESCO, Mrs Irina Bokova, who assumed her duties last November, following the end of service of Mr Koichiro Matsuura, the Director-General of UNESCO for 8 consecutive years.
The UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, Mrs Marianna V. Vardinoyannis, took the initiative to start a campaign aiming at the sensitisation of the international common opinion in favour of Greece; the re-establishment of the name of our country in countries abroad and the reinforcement of its place internationally.
