The UN Works Programme
UN Works is an innovative multimedia platform that puts a human face on the work of the UN by exploring global issues through the personal stories of people and their communities. It gives a voice to ordinary men, women and children and allows them to share their struggles and fears; hopes and aspirations with audiences around the world.
The UN Works enhances the classroom experience and provides online resources developed with Discovery, MTV and other networks to encourage people to share their stories, create their own content and initiate advocacy campaigns.
