It has been shown that everything individuals, organizations or communities decide and do influences the whole. Conversely, the whole affects the individual. The goal of the study trip to the United Nations Headquarters in New York is to become acquainted with the UN in its role as the organization of the world community and to expand participants’ global perspective.
