Join us for a friendly online discussion about the key issues relating to 'Is the UN fit for purpose?', to support your current studies and future choices.
Session time: Monday 3 March, 16.15-17.15
Think Tank is a series of interdisciplinary webinars for students (16+ pre-university), engaging academics and students in debate. We tackle some of the pressing national and global issues being faced today.
Our panel of academics will represent different disciplines and universities, including University of East Anglia and Goldsmiths, University of London. Each will have 5 minutes at the beginning of the session to outline the key issues, as they see them, relating to Is the United Nations Fit for Purpose?
Ahead of the event, we invite students to submit questions and arguments HERE within the overall session theme which, following the introductory inputs from our academics, are then either posed by the student themselves or by the host, depending upon each student’s preference.
The academics will then share their perspectives with plenty of opportunity for students to engage in the discussion. The event will progress in a similar way to ‘Question Time’.
Woven into the discussion, the university academics are encouraged to shed light on how undergraduates engage in these critical issues during their studies.
Suitable for: Aged 16+ pre-university students with an interest in the UN, either as part of their studies, their university aspirations, personal interests, or related citizenship studies. This is suitable for both groups or individual students and teachers.
