Kickstarting the new partnerships, students have begun to travel to New York for an immersive, week-long experience where they participate in sessions with experts from organizations such as UNODA, IAEA, UNODC, UNICEF, UNAOC, OIOS, and UNU-CPR. During live simulations, they step into the roles of diplomats, addressing critical issues like climate change, while navigating competing interests and priorities. These hands-on experiences emphasize the complexities of international negotiations and the importance of collaboration.
A Week of Learning and Global Engagement
WFUNA Training Programs at the UN emphasize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encouraging students to critically assess their role in addressing global challenges and develop comprehensive proposals for change. Additionally, networking with key UN professionals and organizations in New York City offers a valuable opportunity to explore potential career paths in international diplomacy and other impactful professions in the field.
With the mission of creating ‘multipliers’ around the world who protect and promote the values of the UN, WFUNA calls on these Training Program participants to continue being examples of Global Citizens to those around them. Find out more about WFUNA Training Programs at the UN here.
