Discover the UN and Have
Fun!
A CD-ROM for youngsters
from 6 to 96 years
Geneva, 17 December 2003 - The
United Nations Economic Commission for
Europe (UNECE) this week releases a CD-ROM
featuring three interactive games that
permit the young - and the not so young
- to discover the United Nations and the
UNECE, and to test their knowledge of
sustainable development.
“How long is the
term of the Secretary-General of the
United Nations?”
“How many regional commissions
does the United Nations have?”
“When does World Environment Day
take place?”
These are just three
questions among many others that you have
to answer in a frenetic race to defeat
the terrible “Bug”.
The aim of the game is
to beat the “Bug” that represents
all the problems the United Nations struggles
to resolve. To achieve this, you must
respond correctly to the questions that
appear accompanied by colourful images
and sounds.
This discovery of the
activities of the United Nations not only
enriches your knowledge, but reinforces
the initiatives of the United Nations
because, as emphasized by Mr. Kofi Annan,
Secretary-General of the United Nations:
“…knowledge means power. Much
of our work, here at the United Nations,
is aimed at giving you, the peoples of
the world, greater power over your own
lives and your environment. The better
informed you are, the greater our chances
of success.” Have fun!
