The United Nations uses special observances and special days to highlight a range of global problems and issues. Ongoing special observances and upcoming special days can be viewed on the UN's event calendar: http://www.un.org/events. Pick one of these observances/days and read the background material on it. What is the issue or problem highlighted? What events are planned to raise awareness? What can you do to participate? How effective do you think these events can be and why?
