CONFERENCES

Our New York conference at UN Headquarters is usually held during the Spring Semester. In addition to keynotes and panels it includes Awards, a poster contest, an Info Fair of UN agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and others whose work connects with the conference theme. These provide resource people, materials and activities for use in the classroom and in the community.

Our themes have included major issues addressed by the United Nations, including:

The Sustainable Development Goals,  Promoting Peace through Education,  Advancing Social Justice,  Education is a Human Right, and many others.  Reports for all conferences can be accessed as follows:
