Session 1: The UN Have a look at this website http://www.un.org/en/aboutun/index.shtml Consider the logo Why is it designed like this? What is it trying to reflect?

The UN Design your own UN logo It can be whatever you like but it must reflect the UNS core values: peace, protection, democracy

Session 2; You already have a symbol for the UN now you need to think about how it will be organised

Questions to consider Would all countries get a vote? Would bigger countries get more votes? Would rich countries get more votes? Or less votes? How would they sit? In a circle? In rows? Who would lead the discussions? Are all countries allowed in? How often should they meet?

Session 3; What are the most important priorities for the UN? What sort of things do you think the UN is concerned with?

The UN is involved in the following aspects of global life Africa Climate change Children Democracy Food Health Human Rights Oceans Peace Terrorism Water Equality for Women For more information visit…. http://www.un.org/en/globalissues/africa/index.shtml

In groups arrange each aspect from most to least important
