Orientation/Briefing Days to the United Nations

Orientation/Briefing Days are designed to provide basic information on the United Nations system including the roles of the Secretariat, the Nation States, the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and other groups that form the UN community. This includes an overview of the current UN agenda and a reflection on how your congregation or organization might be able to participate in UN activities. This gathering is designed for those involved in teaching and in justice and peace ministry who are interested in learning more about the workings of the UN. It is also for individuals -- students and adults-- interested in broadening their understanding of the United Nations system so that they can integrate it within their understanding of the world. Please extend this invitation to those who might be interested in attending these Orientation Days. Our hope is to provide access to and information about the United Nations in ways that broaden our views as Global Citizens and help us integrate this awareness into everyday life and ministry.
