Brain Education for Human Development



On Thursday, March 19th, IBREA hosted a workshop for UN staff entitled "Brain Education for Human Development to coincide with "Brain Awareness Week".

The event began with a celebration of the launch of IBREA's new BrainWorld magazine.

The participants also heard from Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg about the basic structure and functions of the brain and from IBREA representatives about Brain Education and Human Development and how Brain Education can contribute to the development of human potential. The session ended with an experiential Brain Education session.

IBREA also announced a new $1 project, where individuals will donate a mere $1 per month in support of United Nations projects. The goal is for 100 million people to join the project.

A UNICEF program that supports parents with HIV/AIDS by providing education to prevent transmission to their children and by providing employment opportunities will be the first specific project the $1 project will support.
