Yesterday was World AIDS Day, and Fight Aids Monaco organized its annual auction to raise funds to help those affected by HIV.

Last week the Marlborough Art Gallery marked its 10th year in Monaco.

Monaco continues to support and promote the arts.

Once young Monegasques have finished compulsory education, many choose to continue their studies at universities and colleges elsewhere in the world. At just over 8% of the population, the student age range of 15 to 24 years makes up the smallest number of residents in Monaco. Unfortunately, there aren't many opportunities for younger residents to continue their education close to home, but it's not completely impossible to obtain a university degree in the Principality.
