Unlike commercial industries, which tend to be large in scale, cottage industries tend to be small in scale. Cottage industries are often based out of a single home, and they may have only one or two employees. In cottage industries, a worker often makes a product from start to finish. Examples of cottage industries include homemade textiles and jewelry.
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is an agency within the United Nations that is responsible for promoting peace, social justice, human rights and international security through international cooperation on educational, science and cultural programs.
It is the heir of the League of Nations' International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation. UNESCO has 195 member states and nine associate members. Most of its field offices are cluster offices covering three or more countries; national and regional offices also exist. UNESCO pursues its objectives through five major programs: education, natural sciences, social/human sciences, culture and communication/information.
