What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

On the 12th of January, our eighth grade classes went to visit The United Nations, which is where their goal of “achieving international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character,” is met. We learnt and saw many features of the UN, such as The General Assembly Hall where all the 193 Member States meet up to discuss and debate. We saw where everything happened. But the real thing that fascinated me was the artifacts they had.

They displayed many artifacts, like old bombs and educated us on the historical events on these bombs. They also had different types of other art that were made to represent the other countries and it was scattered everywhere. It was truly an enjoyable experience.
