New Lessons on the UN and Advocacy

We are pleased to share our new resources aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of the United Nations and our involvement as a NGO.

Project Overview: We have developed three lessons designed to educate students about the UN and advocacy. Each lesson is structured with comprehensive slides, making it easy to facilitate learning. These materials have been made available on our website under the ‘News and Information’ section, accessible through our ‘resource library’ and found within the ‘About the United Nations’ folder:

It includes a detailed focus on Section L, Working Group on Girls, and prepares students with the Conversation Circle Toolkit.
