The week of public programs, organized by Dr. Bill Redel, president of the United Nations Association in Nevada, will focus on global and cultural awareness.

"We really want to get the public involved in the events, "Redel said."We've been doing this for 13 years and it's always been successful.The community really likes it and we encourage their participation."

The public will have many opportunities to get involved from participating in a mock trial on nuclear arms to posing questions to various speakers on such topics as the Israel and Palestine crisis, US foreign policy and global crisis.

"We are trying to bring things into focus that are not in the news," Redel said.
