Circle your calendars for December 10th for a very worthwhile program on the United Nations. December 10th marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document penned by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1948, through the auspices of the United Nations. A group of high school students from North East Ohio has studied this document, and will be videoconferencing discussing and sharing their interpretation “live” with a group of high school students from Derry, Northern Ireland.
