“The Study Week at the UN, for me, can be summed up in one word: INCREDIBLE! The success of this experience, now in its sixth edition, is due to the organization of the groups—both through the selection of participants and the motivation and coordination by Leda Muniz. Regarding the organizations we visited, it is important to highlight that the lectures demonstrated the vastness of their work and how many people are assisted around the world. It is impressive to see the dedication and passion with which the professionals welcomed us during their presentations, and this reflected in the group’s strong interest in the topics discussed. The opportunity to visit these institutions in loco, ask questions, and engage with the speakers was a true privilege. The week was far more than just a few days—it felt like years of acquired knowledge, marked by a growing desire to work toward a better world.” Raquel Almeida- Institutional relations consultant -Brasilia
