Newcomers' Forum Refugee and immigrant issues are addressed in this program. Groups of at least 40 high school students and two school chaperones are accompanied by a World Affairs Council representative for a tour of the United Nations with visits to the General Assembly and Security Council. Groups may also meet with a representative of a UN mission, or possibly attend a committee meeting as well as tour Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Teachers may request a free packet of UN teaching materials. Call us to make planning a field trip easy.
Teachers have the opportunity to explore various topics in depth and share classroom activities.
