United Nations in Geneva: Global Challenges in the City of Peace, Diplomacy, and Science

Dialogue

Geneva, Switzerland Summer I, 2025

**New accommodations this year (with AC!)**

The United Nations in Geneva program explores the most important capital of peace, negotiations, scientific innovation and technological advancements, and diplomacy. Switzerland has been hosting international organizations and conferences for more than 150 years. This role of host state is firmly rooted in Switzerland’s tradition of humanitarianism and mediation. Switzerland plays a central role in world politics and was elected a member of the United Nations Security Council from 2023-2024.

This is a unique opportunity to see the world’s capital of diplomacy, humanitarian action and global governance. We will be exposed to several areas of diplomacy: disarmament, human rights, Artificial Intelligence and new technologies, global public health, climate change, migration, among others.

This program is action-packed:

  • Seven alpine hikes
  • Train and bus trips to the country side and mountains
  • Meetings with several dignitaries, including ambassadors and Nobel Peace laureate organizations and people.
  • Networking meals with alumni who live in Switzerland and unique engagement opportunities.
  • Meeting inspiring people who are making the world a better place.

The Dialogue aims to provide students with unique access opportunities to see how negotiations and world politics occur, and how the United Nations tackles the hardest issues affecting humanity.
