In the city of peace and justice, The Hague, Netherlands, our UN Immersion Programme provides a unique opportunity for participants to delve into the heart of the United Nations. Hosted at the historic Peace Palace, activities include expert lectures, workshops, guided tours, and public hearings. This immersive experience equips participants with invaluable knowledge and skills in law and diplomacy, working in diverse international environments, facilitates networking with UN institutions, and allows for a full immersion into international peacebuilding and justice efforts.

The field visit to The Hague will be offered twice in 2024 – in May and July.

Participants can opt for a premium package, which includes a preparatory e-Learning course before the 5-day field visit to The Hague, as well as accommodations; or a basic package, which does not include the e-Learning course, or accommodations in The Hague.

The preparatory e-learning course will give participants insights into the United Nations, and the Sustainable Development Goals, and build skills in Communication, Leadership, and other key areas.
