Description

Games - one of the earliest forms of communication in a child's life. Irrespective of country of origin, children all over the world like to play games. Life, too, is a game, though it is not always played according to the rules. Using a children’s soccer game as a metaphor, A Common Goal takes a unique approach to introduce the wide range of United Nations activities to 8 and 12-year old children. Illustrative footage from around the world is used to explain concepts such as peacekeeping and human rights, as well as the activities of the General Assembly and the Security Council.
