About the programme 

Following on from our successful trip to the Hague, we are once again partnering with UNITAR to run a 5-day immersive programme focused on key themes and locations within the United Nations, this time based in Geneva! 

With an initial stop in Paris to spend a day visiting the UNESCO headquarters at Place de Fontenoy and other key locations, the trip will travel to Geneva, giving you the chance to fully immerse yourselves into the host city of the main UN offices and gain first-hand experience of the United Nations.  

UNITAR will host a number of activities in the headquarters of the UN in Geneva, the historic Palais des Nations which can include but is not limited to: 

  • Expert lectures   

  • Training workshops   

  • Private guided tours   

  • Career development sessions   

All with the aim to help you gain insight and take steps into building a career within the UN.  

No prior experience or specific degree programme is necessary to join, in fact, we particularly encourage applications from students without relevant experience!
