Iris Constantin
Leading Builder of cultural awarness
"In the past 8 years, ever since I graduated Business Administration from Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest I have been working for and with the communities from the position of parliamentary adviser and currently as expert within the Romanian National Commission for UNESCO. Working in election campaigns and parliamentary offices I had the privilege of interacting with diverse people from various backgrounds and assisting them in addressing their problems taught me a lot about commitment, generosity, adaptability, communication skills.
The most fulfilling experiences for me came from the gratitude expressed by people for my efforts in trying to help them, even if sometimes the efforts were not successful. The Romanian National Commission for UNESCO offered me the chance to make an impact at a higher level.
I, together with my colleagues, assumed and will continue to maintain an active role in bringing together all stakeholders - public and private institutions, NGOs, individuals - interested in reaching a sustainable development of society by exploring the opportunities and challenges in education, sciences, culture, communication and information. Joint, integrated efforts are needed to successfully address the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the UN system in 2015. I embrace opportunities to promote Romania abroad, believing that global citizenship nurtures and highlights national identity."
