She is also actively involved in preserving and protecting Qatar's cultural heritage..
Her Highness' commitment to progressive education and community welfare in Qatar and her strong advocacy for closer relations between the Islamic world and the West have earned her the respect of numerous international groups. Her most recent award is the Prize of the Royal Institute for International Affairs from Chatham House, a world renowned British think tank that focuses on contemporary global affairs. Her Highness is the first Arab and the first woman to be awarded the Prize.
An international leader, Her Highness currently serves as UNESCO's Special Envoy for Basic and Higher Education. In this role, she promotes literacy in the Arab world and Asia. She is also developing a proposal to put before the UN Security Council to declare schools a safe haven in regions where there is instability and conflict, and to establish an international tribunal to prosecute crimes against education.
On the 7th of October 2009, Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned delivered a speech at the 35th session of UNESCO's general conference in Paris emphasizing the importance of quality education in shaping a peaceful world. Her Highness noted in her address that the right to education amounts to the right to live stressing that quality education prepares children, teenagers and young men to face life armed with the necessary knowledge, experience and skills enabling them to adapt to all the changes and pressures regardless of their causes.
Her Highness is also a member of the High Level Group of the UN Alliance of Civilizations which was established to assess the forces that contribute to extremism and recommend collective action to counter those forces. As part of this effort, she has proposed groundbreaking initiatives to create a region-wide youth employment program and to promote media literacy to counter the under-representation of Islam and Arabs. Her Highness has also proposed a youth mobilisation movement for Muslim youth to focus on West/Islam cross-cultural understanding.
In all aspects of her work, Her Highness is guided by her faith in Islam, her dedication to the Emir's vision for the future, a deep respect for traditional values, and a commitment to the highest possible standards."
