Next month, more than 1,000 university students ages 18 to 24 will have the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills and practice developing international relations.
The United Nations Department of Public Information is organizing the second annual Global United Nations Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from August 14 to 18 2010. This year’s theme will be “Towards an Alliance of Civilizations: Bridging Cultures to achieve Peace and Development.” At the conference, participants will role play as foreign diplomats at a General Assembly Summit on intercultural dialogue. They will participate in simulated sessions of the United National General Assembly and other mutual groups in the UN systems. The organizers hope that the conference will help students to develop lifelong skills in leadership and research, writing, public speaking and problem solving. They also hope that the students’ participation encourages consensus building, conflict resolution and cooperation and the enhancement of leadership skills.
