Find out how international government organizations work to face global issues. Learners examine if major organizations like the EU, UN, and Commonwealth are effective at tackling big issues like animal protection. They think about the rules groups often make to keep order, include, or exclude members to understand how large organizations function. They then hold mock EU/UN trials, make a timeline of global issues dealt with by these organizations, and research the effectiveness of the UN at keeping global peace.
