Tuesday
Dear
readers,
another day
of our busy week has gone by... and once again it was a full day!!!! We started
with a big breakfast at the hostel and then we were ready to face the new
challanges!!! We headed to the Palais de Nations (UN Headquarter in Geneva),
where we took part to a guided tour that showed us the main conferences halls
and explained the way the UN works. This interesting visit also gave us the
opportunity to have a better understanding of the work that is carried out
every day in this neutral territory. Before moving to the next location, we had
lunch at the canteen of the UN palace, with an incredible view over the
surrounding park and the cultural heritage of this place.
With our
bellies full we moved to the Red Cross Museum, where we had the chance to
discover the important work that is carried out every day, all over the world,
by this humanitarian organization. It was interesting to learn the main issues
that are continuously faced by the delegates and volunteers.
The
afternoon continued with the workshop on the possibility of the creation of the
Youth Parliament which will represent the young people leaving outside of
Switzerland. This meeting gave the
opportunity for all young people to discuss their vision on the possible
outcome of the future organization. Despite the huge amount of work to be done,
The discussion was interrupted at 21.30, when everyone decided that it was time
to enjoy the nightlife of Geneva.
Stay tuned
for more updates on the ASO seminar :-)
