The United Nations and European Union produce informational material on a wide range of topical subjects. While jointly marking a series of International Days together, we are offering the general public, NGO's, and other institutions, a non-exhaustive list of documents and ressources from both organisations.
To find even more information on the different international days we have chosen to mark together, the 'Links' section of this page will redirect you to information ressources from the European Union, the United Nations system and its agencies, and a number of other additional sources.
If you are looking for audiovisual ressources, you can find all sorts of material in our Multimedia section.
