For nearly a year, Elyx has been the UN’s first digital ambassador. With a light touch and good humor, Elyx has been working tirelessly with the UN family to spread the word on global issues and raise awareness on International Days.
Needing no words to communicate a view of the world, and having no race, age, nationality, or gender, Elyx, created by renowned French digital artist YAK, serves as a universal messenger for the ideals of the United Nations.
To celebrate the UN’s 70th anniversary, Elyx is travelling ‘Around the world in 70 Days’. During this adventure, Elyx will travel across the globe to shine a light on the work of the organisation, guided by colleagues in the numerous UN missions from all the UN agencies, across the five continents.
Ely’s journey starts on 15 August and ends on 24 October 2015 at UN Headquarters in New York City. You can follow this global adventure on various social media channels and using the hashtag #UN70and #Elyx70days.
