International NGO Politics
The workshops on International NGO Politics are primarily meant for young people that wish to attend international (UN) conferences, either in a TYN delegation, or as a delegate for your own NGO or organisation. The workshops will teach skills needed for effective policy development and consensus building, as well as lobbying skills and general knowledge needed to be an effective delegate at these conferences. The workshops will also give inside knowledge on the backstage politics at international conferences, and the roles that NGOs play.
Organizing MUN Conferences
Although there are numerous Model United Nations (MUN) conferences around the world in schools and communities, there are many young people who still do not have access to such an experience. These workshops will be directed at participants who wish to take action and start such programs in their communities and schools. Preference will be given to participants from areas that with no MUN conferences in the region.
