1- Who can participate in the Study Week? I’m very interested, but I’m not in the field of diplomacy or international relations
Any professional or student interested in learning about the various organizations that are part of the UN System can participate. It is open to professionals from any field.
2- What is required to participate?
To participate in the Study Week, you must be at least 18 years old and have intermediate to advanced English skills, as all classes, presentations, and activities are conducted in English.
Since this program involves international organizations and takes place in areas not accessible to the general public, applicants go through a selection process that includes completing a form and an interview. If accepted, participants must agree to all requirements necessary to take part in the program (security procedures and instructions from the organizations) by signing a contract.
3- I have a friend living in Geneva and I want to stay with them. Can I participate for only 3 days?
The program has specific requirements that participants agree to in a contract before traveling. One of the requirements to receive the certificate is to complete the entire program. For logistical and security reasons, participants must stay at the same accommodation as the group. The interaction between participants (from various professions, experiences, and regions of Brazil), the shared experience, and exchange of knowledge are proven factors that contribute to individual growth within this program.
4- I would like to take the opportunity to sightseen a little and visit some places since I’m in Europe. Is it possible?
The Study Week has fixed start and end dates. You may explore on your own before the program begins or after it ends. Many participants extend their stay for a few days after the Study Week to travel and visit other cities independently.
