ISIC - UNESCO PARTNERSHIP

UNESCO has been involved in the ISIC card since the very creation of the card. In 1968 UNESCO officially endorsed the ISIC card, recognizing it as a unique document encouraging cultural exchange and international understanding. The UNESCO logo has also appeared on the card since 1993 following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, which was renewed in 1999, aimed at promoting young people's access to mobility and to a variety of educational and cultural experiences. This aim still stands strong today.

In addition to the global UNESCO endorsement of the ISIC card, a number of local UNESCO chapters have recently initiated local agreements and endorsements of the card.
