University of Malta Pro-Rector, Prof. Godfrey Baldacchino, and Dr Jim Randall from the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada are co-holders of the UNESCO Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability.
The UNESCO Chair is a partnership between the two universities, with the overall objective to build capacity amongst islands and islanders. Both universities have an institute dedicated to the study of islands and small states and the Chair seeks to promote the voice of 600 million islanders, giving them further visibility.
The Canadian Commission for UNESCO (CCUNESCO) launched its series of videos “My Chair in 3 Minutes” with the first release, featuring Prof. Baldacchino and Dr Randall.
