Partner With Us
UNESCO Body & Mind Wellness Club (UNESCO BMW), with its partners, has been building strong alliances in our home base of Washington, DC, and in the world at large since 2010. As a result, we have become a cultural force for celebrating diversity, contributing to current issues and events, engaging policymakers, and working with all stakeholders to further Partner the understanding of peace, acceptance, and tolerance. We continually strive to make the culture of peace a commodity of everyday life through the ideals of UNESCO (Education, Science, Culture, and Communication).
Whether it is in-kind or funded, we are currently seeking support for our programming through partnerships and sponsorships from values-aligned organizations.
In alignment with the UN Global Goal #17 for Sustainability, we focus on the delivery of intentional Partnerships for the Goals. As such, we make a conscious effort to work with other values-aligned organizations and people to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
