Frequently Asked Questions
Teach the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ was developed by the United Nations Visitor Center for K-12 (kindergarten to 12th grade) educators to assist and encourage them to incorporate Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ content in their curriculum. The webpage, un.org/teach, includes curated content with links to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ resources, as well as teaching guides, focusing on the Three Pillars of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ - Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Human Rights, and Peace and Security. Educators will find Teach the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to be an easy one-stop-shop to easily access Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ material and is meant to encourage them to incorporate Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ themes in their curriculum.
Apart from key topics covering the work of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, including climate change, peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, and the SDGs, among others, there are abundant materials and information designed for students of different ages. For example:
- For young learners between ages 5 and 12: educational games (Climate Action Superheroes, Go Goals!, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Kahoot games), Human Rights for Kids, SDG Book Club, and learning how your favorite characters (Thomas the Engine, Peter Rabbit, Hello Kitty) are doing their part to help the United Nations.
- For teenagers between ages 13 to 17: Model Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Library, latest Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ News, ActNow and Share Verified campaigns, internships, volunteering opportunities, and other ways to engage with the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ.
