Study Trip: Visiting the UN Campus in Bonn
One of the best ways to learn about international organisations is to visit them. That is why a study trip to Bonn is an essential part of the programme. The students meet with public officials who explain the mission of their institution and aspects of their work, including the coordination of cooperation for sustainable development and policy advice in the field of global governance. These visits enable the students to gain an insight into the working environment of international organisations, to make useful contacts and to learn about recruitment procedures.
Among recent visits:
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD)
German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS)
