Commemorative
Events for 2011
At UN Headquarters,
New York
In keeping with this year’s theme of “Take Action! Inspire Change”, staff from UN Headquarters in New York volunteered for the Central Park Conservancy in a park improvement project. An interactive exhibit in the UN Headquarters Visitors Lobby invited individuals to make their own personal pledge to 67 minutes of public service in honour of Mandela.
A Student Leadership Conference was held, giving students the opportunity to learn about Mandela’s leadership example and to interact with senior UN staff members who have previously worked with Mandela.
Around the world, the UN’s network of information centres conducted volunteer events and commemorations.
