This engaging lesson introduces students to World International Organizations and can be used in geography, civics, and government. It incorporates both Non-governmental (NGOs) and Intergovernmental (IGOs) — such as UNESCO, United Nations, World Health Organization**, Mercy Ships**, and more — explaining how they play a significant role in shaping global connections. These international organizations, such as the Doctors Without Borders, World Trade Organization, and World Bank, work to maintain peace, promote human rights, ensure economic stability, and address pressing issues like climate change, economic development, and poverty on a global scale. By learning about these organizations, students gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our world and the importance of collaboration among nations. As an enrichment activity, students will be asked to work together to create an international organization to solve a world issue.

This lesson incorporates an introduction game, a carousel activity and task cards, a review game, task cards, and an enrichment activity**.** This lesson can easily be modified for shorter class periods and time restraints or needs.

Hitler used the 1936 Olympics for government propaganda purposes.

The PowerPoint uses posters created by the Germand and focuses on how propaganda techniques were implemented such as using symbols hidden within the images.

Following World War I, Germany was in economic, political, and physical ruins. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor and began his quiet quest against anyone who was not Arian. In 1931, Germany was given the option of hosting the 1936 Olympics. Hilter, under his Nazi German totalitarian dictatorship government system, wasn't sure it was a good idea until he was convinced that they could build the largest stadium to be seen at the Olympics and make Germany look as if it was not in ruin. He agreed. The 1936 Olympics were different from the Olympics in the past. It incorporated theatre, high-tech equipment for the games, and wonderful production with a lot of rituals that would continue into the Olympic games after Hitler's Olympics.

Hitler kept the secret of his war against the Jews throughout the two weeks of the Olympics using propaganda to show the world how well Germany was doing; the world, however, had no idea what was in store for Germany and the Jews who lived within its borders.
