What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:
We first started off our trip to the United Nation by looking at statues that were gifted by other countries to us One that really stood out to me was one that was about the transatlantic slave trade this one really touched me because it showed the struggles that the Africans had to go through during the middle passage of the Trans Atlantic slave trade. What was then really cool was how they let us go inside the room were the actual UN meets and we got to sit in some of the chairs we saw multiple room like this but one of them were particularly huge after that we learned about how the Un takes action in certain countries that need their help for example the would go to a country that had way to much plastic pollution and they will remove the plastic. In conclusion i think that this was a very fun and very interesting and productive trip.
