Events and Conferences

The United Nations Association of Australia, Victorian Division, runs a variety of events and conferences that engage students, NGOs, the corporate sector and members of the general public.

In addition to the annual national World Environment Day Awards and Media Peace Awards programs the UNAA reguarly runs conferences to highlight United Nations International Years. For information on the 2003 International Year of Freshwater Conference and the 2005 International Year of Microcredit Conference, please visit our Conference Archives page.

Each year the UNAA runs Model United Nations Conferences in Victorian universities and secondary schools. The Model UN Conferences offer students the opportunity to resolve complex global issues diplomatically, through role-play. In 2006, in support of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, the UNAA extended its university Model UN Conference program to secondary schools.
