Geneva Summer School 2010

4th to 16th July 2010, Geneva

The annual Quaker United Nations Summer School in Geneva provides an opportunity for 25 people to meet together to study the work of the United Nations at first hand.

Participation is not limited to Quakers, although they are usually in the majority. We welcome applications from anywhere in the world. Applicants from outside the EU/Switzerland will need a visa, which QUNO will assist in applying for.

The Summer School aims to provide an introduction for people to the work of the United Nations, as seen through the programmes of QUNO - the Quaker United Nations Office in Geneva. QUNO works on disarmament and peace, human rights and refugees, and global economic issues. During Summer School there will be talks by staff of the UN, non-governmental organisations and diplomatic missions, as well as informal discussion sessions and visits to the UN itself.
