Graduate Study Programme (GSP) at UN Geneva is the longest-running educational initiative of the United Nations, now in its 62nd year. Over the past six decades, the GSP has trained over 3,000 young people from more than 110 countries on all continents. This intensive two-week summer seminar provides an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of the United Nations and “International Geneva” through first-hand observations, lectures, research, and networking.
The 62nd GSP will be held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland from 1 until 12 July 2024 under the theme: “Summit of the Future: Challenges and Opportunities”.
The Programme will consist of morning lectures given by representatives of the United Nations, other international organizations, civil sector, and diplomats, visits to institutions, and work on group projects in the afternoons. Students, divided into five working groups, will look into the five chapters of the Pact for the Future and present their findings in short papers and presentations at the end of the Programme. This research and drafting process will be student-led and student-owned, with limited support from facilitators.
