19th Annual CTAUN Conference - 6th April 2018
"Stepping Up to Protect the World's Children"

Our 2018 CTAUN conference at the UN will now be held on April 6. We invite educators, school administrators, social workers, psychologists, youth groups and concerned citizens to join us in considering these issues and becoming part of the solution. Children are our future.  May none be left out because we failed to act. We look forward to seeing you at the UN on April 6, 2018.  REGISTER HERE 
Here is the flyer for the poster competition.  Deadline midnight February 28, 2018.  This is open to undergraduate and graduate students.

Best Practices Award
Each year CTAUN grants an award or awards for “Best Practices” inspired by the conferences presented during previous years. A practice that some educators find successful may lead others to consider ways of teaching about the United Nations or about global issues that are suitable for their students or groups.  Preference may be given to those projects that connect directly to a theme of a prior CTAUN conference.

Projects selected for the Best Practices Awards will receive recognition at a future CTAUN Conference and will be posted on the CTAUN website.  Winners’ conference registration fees will be waived, but all travel expenses will be the responsibility of the recipient. 
For more information and the application go to:  http://www.ctaun.org/best-practices-awards/best-practices-application/
Since 1995, DKG has been proud to maintain Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) status with the United Nations Department of Public Information. The Society was also granted consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 2003. The DKG relationship with the UN not only reinforces the Society’s international scope but also fulfills the seventh Society Purpose: “To inform members of current economic, social, political and educational issues so that they may participate effectively in a world society.” DKG at United Nations Fact Sheet 2014

DKG has eight representatives who are charged with familiarizing members with the activities and programs of the United Nations, especially those relating to education and human rights.

Our DKG NGO representatives attend weekly briefings at United Nations Headquarters in New York City. Information is shared through our newsletter, DKG@UN, as well as at conferences and regional and international meetings.

As educators, DKG members are particularly concerned about educational issues worldwide. The right to an education is one of the rights included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), and achieving universal primary education is one of the UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agreed upon by the leaders of the world in 2000 and now being focused on for the UN’s Post-2015 agenda. 

In addition, since 1996 the Society has partnered with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF on a number of projects that have supported education in developing countries. Our project at the present time, which is an official Society project, is Schools for Africa.

CTAUN
Most of the Society’s NGO representatives are also involved with The Committee on Teaching About the United Nations (CTAUN), an organization made up of representatives from a variety of NGOs with an interest in education. CTAUN provides educators opportunities to learn about the United Nations and its work. Through events and resources available on the website, CTAUN assists teachers in efforts to incorporate global awareness into classroom curricula and activities. DKG member Anne-Marie Carlson serves as chair and several other DKG members also help plan and coordinate the conference events.
