Global Education
Introducing the next generation to the ideals of the United Nations
As a leader in the civil society community connected with the UN, WFUNA draws from its network to include UN officials, diplomats from permanent missions, members of civil society and experts from various agencies, funds and programs in trainings.
- Multilateral Diplomacy
- Key Global Issues
- UN History and Structures
Training Objectives
By the end of a weekly training, our students will have been given the opportunity to:
- Acquire a deeper understanding of UN institutions and multilateral diplomacy
- Acquire a framework to understand key global issues
- Foster their public speech abilities and express their opinion in public
- Produce high quality presentations assessed by professional trainers
- Obtain information on career building and working in International Organizations
Advanced Training at the UN
The Advanced Training Program (ATP) at the United Nations targets university students in undergraduate or graduate programs. It provides universities with a unique chance to offer their current and prospective students a program at the United Nations headquarters in New York and in Geneva. In addition to offering students a rare and intimate view into the workings of the UN, participating universities and our education partners are aiding in the career development and future of the next generation of leaders.
Youth Training Program
WFUNA offers a less intensive version of the program tailored to secondary and high school students who display an early interest in international affairs. The Youth Training Program (YTP) at the United Nations examines the activities of the UN and relevant global issues in a more relaxed setting. In addition, WFUNA will provide training and information on how to build a career within the UN system and with international NGOs.
Leadership Training Programs
Leadership Training Programs (LTP)are offered to professional groups. WFUNA facilitators can work with our corporate and institutional partners to create a program that meets their professional needs while focusing on relevant areas of UN engagement and intergovernmental processes.
