At
the end of your tour, ask your tour guide to direct you to the
Public Inquiries Unit where
you can obtain a teacher's kit containing
a wide array of written materials including the Convention
on the Rights of the Child, a directory of the UN system, and information
on UN programmes such as UNICEF.
You
may also want to visit the UN
Bookshop with its unique selection of children's books, posters,
language books and souvenirs and the UN
Postal Counter wich sells colourful UN stamps illustrating subjects
from endangered species to the Nobel Peace Prize. The stamps are ideal
for collecting or for mailing purposes but only when mailed from United
Nations Headquarters. If you are looking for an unusual gift or souvenir,
the United Nations Gift Centre offers
an extensive array of exotic handicrafts from all corners of the globe.
Finally,
don't forget to explore the CyberSchoolBus
web site (the UN site for teachers and students) which contains an
assortment of teaching and learning projects including Model
UN programmes, information on how to highlight international days
and
peace education. For further information, browse through UN
online publications including the quarterly magazine,
UN Chronicle, and the
UN in our Daily Lives.
