International Signs and UNESCO

International signs and the YoGoTe project have been presented several times to UNESCO in connection with certain projects and activities.

International Year of Languages 2008

The YoGoTe project was included as one of the activities of this program.

Manifest 2000

The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed the year 2000 as the International Year of the Culture of Peace and the decade 2001-2010 as the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World. UNESCO has been designated as the coordinating body of this decade.

The 2000 Manifesto for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence was drafted by a Nobel Peace Prize group to translate United Nations resolutions into everyday language and make them relevant to people everywhere.

The organizers of this event have given the possibility to translate this document into any language, including other translations on their website. There is a translation to Gestuno's international gestures (with signs that are the predecessors of YoGoTe signs)

You can see the corresponding gestures in this video:

World Parliament of Children

The World Parliament of Children, convened jointly by UNESCO and the French National Assembly in 1999, brought together more than 350 young people from around the world.

Together they created and approved the Youth Manifesto for the 21st Century.

Two young people from Galicia were the representatives of Spain in this event and their schools organize various events to spread the knowledge of this statement.

Presentation of various parts of this Manifesto with international gestures

Transatlantic slave trade

The TST project is a proposal to break the silence on the transatlantic slave trade, as well as to highlight its consequences in today’s world.

The international gestures were presented at the International Youth Forum held in Denmark in 2003.
