What's going on!


For those who live abroad and even for those who live in their home country, sometimes life can seem individualistic and disconnected.  Humans are social; we need interaction and we need connection.  Do you ever wonder, what’s going on in your community?  What do people care about?  What’s going on in the world?  What are people thinking about?  Are there any ideas that unite people across the world?  And how can I reach out and be a part of this discussion?  

Student’s Uniting Nations (SUN) encourages students, as well as other individuals, all over the world to connect at three different levels to answer these questions.  First, individuals can connect and collaborate with the people closest to them – perhaps through school, work, or common friends.  At this first level, the group would design questions for discussion and ways to approach their community.  Next, as a team, this group would head out into the community and reach out to others through asking questions and sparking discussion.  We want to know what’s important to people, what makes them smile, what they are passionate about.  Finally, the responses from communities across the globe would be posted by the groups to a shared blog so that the discussions could be shared and compared.  

What are you passionate about?  Get connected and share with others.  Unite with those around you, unite with other members of your community and unite with SUN!  Become part of something bigger!
