Young people are important to the United Nations. You are the ones who will feel the decisions taken at the UN in your daily lives. On the other hand, your ideas, questions and creativity can help make the world more peaceful, fair and safe for everyone.
On these pages, you can find different ways to learn about the UN and take part. Younger children can read stories and play games at home, as a student, you can visit the UN and attend programmes with your school, university students and graduates find activities to complement their institutional learning, and engaged youth of different ages find the tools to help or represent in and around their homes.
No matter your age or where you are learning, this section can help you find the right place to start.

United Nations Geneva Immersion Programme
Global challenges demand more than goodwill. They require people who understand international systems, can engage across borders, and contribute to coordinated action. This is the essence of multilateralism and the foundation of effective global problem solving.
UNITAR’s multilateralism training programmes are designed to help participants understand how the United Nations works in practice. They provide clear guidance on UN structures, decision-making processes, and current global priorities. Participants develop practical skills in negotiation, diplomacy, communication, and collaboration in diverse international settings.
