Day is a yearly event organized by UNESCO to celebrate "the virtues of
jazz as an educational tool, and a force for peace, unity, dialogue
and enhanced cooperation among people.
The Day was proclaimed during the UNESCO General Conference in
November 2011. The first annual International Jazz Day was kicked off
in Paris by UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova and UNESCO Goodwill
Ambassador Herbie Hancock.

"Jazz makes the most of the world's diversity, effortlessly crossing
borders and bringing people together. From its roots in slavery, this
music has raised a passionate voice against all forms of oppression.
It speaks a language of freedom that is meaningful to all cultures,"
Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General, has said.
The objectives of International Jazz Day are to:
Encourage exchange and understanding between cultures and employ these
means to enhance tolerance;
Offer effective tools at international, regional, subregional and
national levels to foster intercultural dialogue;
Raise public awareness about the role jazz music plays to help spread
the universal values of UNESCO's mandate;
Promote intercultural dialogue towards the eradication of racial
tensions and gender inequality and to reinforce the role of youth for
social change;
Recognize jazz as a universal language of freedom;
Promote social progress with a special focus on developing countries
utilizing new technologies and communications tools such as social
networks;
Contribute to UNESCO's initiatives to promote mutual understanding
among cultures, with a focus on education of young people in
marginalized communities.
