75 years ago, the United Nations was formed in 1945 to bring people and countries together, build peace and security and improve lives.

In celebration of the United Nations Day 24 October 2020, students at CAIS took part in a series of activities and reflected the UN’s history yesterday.

One of the highlights included  a special webinar where we were joined by Mr Philip Thorpe, Senior Protection Associate & Officer in Charge, UNHCR Hong Kong . Mr Thorpe gave our upper primary and high school students an insightful presentation on the important work UNHCR has been doing.

In addition, primary students dressed in traditional costumes while learning the history and work of the United Nations through a series of fun activities.
