EVENT OF THE MONTH: SEPTEMBER 2015

United Nations is turning 70. The 70th anniversary of the United Nations is an opportunity to reflect, to look back on the UN’s history and take stock of its enduring achievements. In an exciting development, a digital ambassador for the United Nations has been appointed. For nearly a year, Elyx has been the UN’s first digital ambassador.

With a light touch and good humour, Elyx has been working tirelessly with the UN family to spread the word on global issues and raise awareness on International Days. Needing no words to communicate a view of the world, and having no race, age, nationality, or gender, Elyx, created by renowned French digital artist YAK, serves as a universal messenger for the ideals of the United Nations.

To celebrate the UN’s 70th anniversary, Elyx is travelling ‘Around the world in 70 Days’. During this adventure, Elyx will travel across the globe to shine a light on the work of the organisation. Its use is encouraged for educational and public outreach projects advancing the goals laid down in the United Nations Charter. The use of the logo is governed by a set of guidelines.
