Course details

Change Is In Your Hands

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."  Margaret Mead

This A to Z course is designed as a Bootcamp for civil society activists, interns, volunteers and global citizens called to make a difference at the United Nations and at other related international intergovernmental meetings where critical policies are being forged.

The focus is on understanding the UN Structure (today's pre-eminent peace building organization,) how it works, how to interact effectively with it, and how to make an impact there.

Students get rich in-depth lessons that include:

• Over 12 hours in more than 30 lessons about the UN, its structure, decision-making, members, landmark documents....
• A solid understanding of the global institution, it members, bodies, functions, the various decision-making procedures and more
• Access to insider information that would otherwise take years to discover
• Time saving links to hard-to-find resources
• Strategic perspectives for those "walking the corridors"
• Sections on advocacy, framing, how to build social capital, mobilizing resources and more
• The one thing most NGOs do nothing about, but can make the biggest difference to your impact at the UN
• And much, much more...

More importantly, the course carefully guides members of civil society so they can navigate the complex environment so they can make a difference.
