ACTION PRESS / ALLER MEDIA

After attending a couple of UNESCO meetings already, Princess Marie will become the royal patron for the Danish National Commission for UNESCO this coming Tuesday.

Marie, the wife of Prince Joachim, has been getting to know the organization, which is dedicated to promoting education, science and culture, since after the birth of her son back in May. Her presentation as patron will take place in the morning at the Ministry of Education’s meeting room.

UNESCO began after World War II to tackle wars and poverty through intercultural understanding. Denmark was one of its first members, joining in 1946.
