One year after the signing of its strategic partnership with UNESCO, Green Zone Foundation highlights the progress achieved during this period and the value of a relationship that has opened new spaces for dialogue, cooperation and joint work.
The agreement was signed on 25 August 2025 by Mr. Darwish Alshebani, Director of Green Zone Foundation, on behalf of the Foundation. Since then, both parties have held discussions and meetings aimed at identifying areas of common interest and exploring new possibilities for cooperation. During this period, a number of potential initiatives and areas of work have been developed, within a relationship that continues to progress positively.
UNESCO is the United Nations specialized agency for education, science, culture and communication. Its work in support of international cooperation, knowledge and understanding among peoples reflects principles that are also central to Green Zone Foundation’s vision and its commitment to cultural diplomacy.
The teaching and promotion of the Arabic language is a fundamental part of our work, but our mission goes beyond learning a language. For Green Zone Foundation, language is also a gateway to culture, a tool for fostering mutual understanding and a bridge for strengthening relations between the Arab world and Latin America.
From Qatar, Green Zone Foundation works to expand these spaces for exchange and cooperation. Education, culture, heritage and international dialogue are part of a vision in which cultural diplomacy can contribute to building stronger and more lasting relationships between institutions, communities and societies across different regions.
Following this period of joint work, Green Zone Foundation expresses its appreciation to UNESCO for its continued support and particularly values the progress and fruitful results achieved throughout this relationship. For the Foundation, the support and cooperation of international organizations are important in strengthening initiatives that bring cultures closer together and create new opportunities for understanding and collaboration.
A commitment to dialogue, mutual understanding and the building of lasting ties between cultures.
