Each year has a different theme emphasizing a current issue or topic, such as peacebuilding in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and other regions, refugee resettlement and internally displaced persons, armed conflicts, nonviolent peacekeeping, and more. The seminar features a variety of speakers, from experts in the field to NGO workers, peacebuilding professionals, peace practitioners, government officials, and UN representatives. </p> <p>Funding is available to assist with travel costs for students attending this event. This is a great opportunity to visit the UN, meet like-minded students from other peace institutions, and engage in peace issues.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://mcc.org/get-involved/events/mcc-united-nations-office-2022-student-seminar">Registration is currently open</a> and the application deadline is October 12, 2022.</strong> For more information, contact <a href="/peace-conflict-studies/node/115" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ndagire Brendah</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> Fri, 16 Sep 2022 13:54:09 +0000 Timothy Saari 576 at /peace-conflict-studies
