Our mission

Our organization's goal is to provide an educationally and intellectually enriching experience for our peers from around the world while promoting globalism and cross-cultural exchange.

What we do

We host an annual conference relating to a contemporary global issue. We invite expert and engaging speakers that are well versed on the topic who present to our audience of 700 high school students from International Schools from 5 continents. For the past 36 years it has been held in the General Assembly Hall at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

To the end of promoting global awareness and cross-culturalism, the annual themes are always ones of global importance. Over three hundred students from all over the world are invited to attend in addition to the upper classes at the United Nations International School. Since 2011, we also have an annual day for annual international celebrations featuring International Performances and a Cultural Showcase in the Sylvia Howard Fuhrman Auditorium at UNIS.
