Universiti Malaya Unesco Club - UMUC

The Universiti Malaya UNESCO Club (UMUC) was the first-ever UNESCO Club established in Malaysian public universities to enhance excellence in higher education in Malaysia. The University of Malaya UNESCO Club (UMUC) aims to encourage the youth of the University of Malaya to participate in public issues through deliberation on social issues, and by proposing suggestions to decision-makers in their

regions and local communities. It also aims, through discussing different issues and organizing seminars, discussion groups, and events, to emphasize youth responsibilities towards their community and future. Currently, the club is active in organizing, in collaboration with the United Nations, UNESCO, other NGOs (local and international), activities in cultural awareness, science and environment, education, peace studies and humanities, world heritage, international intellectual exchanges, the United Nations system, international youth policy studies and exchanges. The Club coordinates directly with the National Commission of UNESCO Malaysia for projects and organizational matters. UMUC is one of the accredited UNESCO Club in the country by the National Commission of UNESCO Malaysia. The Club is the Malaysia Member to the World Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centres and Associations (WFUCA), based in UNESCO Headquarters, Paris, France. The function of a club may be summed up to three words: Training, Information and Action.
1. Informing both the members and the general public by disseminating information about national and world issues.
3. Taking action and implementing activities essential to the continued existence of a club.
