Description
Youth should be encouraged not only to inform themselves about global issues, but also to engage themselves in activities. Youth camp for youth between the age of 15 and 18, would educate them on functioning and the impact of the UN in everyday life; by combining concrete examples and abstract concepts in a creative and interactive way the camp would engage young people in activities. Each day participants would visit a UNESCO heritage sight and afterwards they would have a workshop, where they would creatively express the newly gained knowledge (they would create a drawing, an essay, a poem, a play etc.).
