CUUNA successfully launched its grand hallmark event of the academic year – our first ever UN study tour to Geneva. It was a truly unique opportunity for our members to learn about the UN at the UN from UN employees and experts through a host of exciting, specially themed talks and activities about the functions, controversies and very latest projects at and of each of the diverse range of institutions to be visited including the:

• Palais des Nations
• United Nations Conference on Trade & Development (UNCTAD)
• United Nations Office at Geneva
• Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)
• World Health Organisation (WHO)
• United Nations Programme on Aids (UNAIDS)
• International Labour Organisation (ILO)
• Permanent Mission of the UK to the United Nations Office at Geneva
• United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
  
• World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
• International Organization for Migration (IOM)
  
• World Trade Organisation (WTO)

The tour was officially co-organised by the World Federation of United Nations Association (WFUNA), who, by its nature and location in Geneva, have the access and network that enabled us to ensure participants truly penetrated the very core, both literally and metaphorically, of each of the institutions, seeing and understanding ideas and operations that the ‘common’ tourist would simply not have the chance to!

We hope everyone on the trip had a good time! And we look forward to our next Study Tour!
