Lego® and The United Nations
The use and application of Lego® in promoting a universal character education and conflict resolution curriculum in schools is explored. Shared ideas are developed using The Universal Declaration of Human Rights framework and United Nations Security Council practices and procedures.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon adds the last LEGO® element to a large scale LEGO® model of the United Nations Headquarters, as part of the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit focused on “Architects of a Better World.” The completion of the 1.65m tall model followed a series of exercises in which global CEOs used specially-designed creativity kits of LEGO® bricks to build their vision of a stronger future for education, human rights and the environment.
