Step 1: Brainstorming
1. As we all know, the United Nations plays a very important role
in handling world affairs. It touches many parts of our daily
lives. The UN works in agriculture, economic growth, education,
health, environment, global partnerships and some other fields.
The UN is connected to many different organizations that do
different projects or programs.
To know more about the UN organizations, we need to do some research. I suggest you look in newspapers, magazines, books in the library and perhaps on the Internet for more information about how many divisions and organizations are
connected to the UN and what they are.

people have been blocked and lots of people have been injured. If so, what organizations or programs could they turn to for help?
Which organizations contribute a lot to the equal education of children and equal treatment of women?

Origin of World Refugee Day
For years, many countries and regions have been holding their own Refugee Days and
even Weeks. One of the most widespread is Africa Refugee Day, which is celebrated
on 20 June in several countries.
As an expression of solidarity with Africa, which hosts the most refugees, and
which traditionally has shown them great generosity, the UN G eneral Assembly adopted Resolution 55/76 on 4 December 2000. In this resolution, the General Assembly noted
that 2001 marked the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status
of Refugees, and that the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had agreed to have
International Refugee Day coincide with Africa Refugee Day on 20 June. The Assembly
therefore decided that, from 2001, 20 June would be celebrated as World Refugee Day. Step 4: Homework
