Feedback from participants
Part 1
I was able to learn about specific activities of the UN,
which I usually don’t hear about, and it renewed my interest in the UN.
It was very beneficial and made me think about my future.
Part 2
The guide was easy to understand and very informative.
I would like to know more about the monuments.
It was a great opportunity to learn something new.
