#KidsWannaKnow
This activity provides students with the opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of reporters and to interview specialists in international cooperation. They conduct a film interview with an expert, with the support of a UN cameraman.
Interviews filmed by young people
Students choose a theme of international cooperation (Health, Humanitarian aid, Migration, ...). In class and in groups of 5 students, they write 5 questions to ask the expert. They then meet with the experts at the “Palais des Nations” (United Nations Office in Geneva). The interview is filmed by a UN cameraman. The project is for young people who wish to learn more about international cooperation in a fun interactive way. If it is desired, it is also possible for the student to participate individually.
