United Nations celebrate a total of sixty four days and four weeks each year. These days and weeks are set aside to serve as reminders for government and non-governmental organisations and other interested people on the need to address specific issues and for government to take implementable practical policy steps for which each day was named. The thrust of this project is to mobilize local and global support for UN days, by organizing online and offline workshops, conferences and seminars; and by writing reports which will be posted in this space a week where possible before the actual day of celebration. Reports shall be a summary of issues as reported by volunteers in their press cuttings, website links, photos, video, audio and textual documents posted earlier.
We are dedicated to helping fulfill these laudable UN objectives for marking these days by mobilizing grassroots support for each of these days by:
• Writing a summary document from the reports posted from local print and electronic media and other sources from anywhere in the world.
• Organising online and offline workshops, conferences and seminars targeting the public and especially students from schools, colleges and higher institutions of learning. This is aimed at ‘planting’ the ‘seed’ of UN mission into them ab initio.
How we shall be conducting our work
We welcome volunteer contributors from around the globe to post entries here on issues in their locality or as convenient issues outside their locality that they came across which address the objectives of any of the days.
We welcome especially press cutting, website links, photos, Video, audio and textual documents and user generated news item to be uploaded here. On the actual UN day celebration a summary report of all the contributions so far shall be presented at a public gathering and also published to highlight topical issues of the day in order to draw attention of the global audience to what is important in a locality. For example if a report on child abuse in a locality catches interest as a result of the manner it took place it shall be reported and be given wider publicity through other related networks. This is aimed at drumming support for the eradication of a bad act, funding for project that will address the situation etc.
