IBE – UNESCO
A Visual History of the IBE
In 2017, at 92 years of age, the International Bureau of Education (IBE), stands out as the oldest intergovernmental organization in education and indeed the cradle of global education as we know it today. It founded processes currently followed by the formally recognized “convening agencies” for articulating and steering the global education agenda such as Education 2030.
To commemorate this long and prestigious journey, the IBE commissioned multipleStudio this editorial project in the shape of a book: A Visual History of the IBE.

A Visual History of the IBE takes us on a visual journey of the IBE’s rich and fascinating history, from its very early beginnings going through the turbulent and unsteady years of the world wars, and all the way to the present moment, where advances made by neuroscience into how the human brain learns promise to reveal the keys to a universal quality education.

July 1939
ICPE delegates enjoy a coffee break. ICPE Recommendation 18 “encouraged teachers to improve their grades by granting them grants to facilitate peer learning through summer courses.” Unfortunately, less than 8 weeks later, most of the European borders were closed and, therefore, also the opportunities provided for peer learning.
