Greetings from Humanitarian Affairs Asia.
Today’s great challenges – climate change, conflict, widening inequalities, socio-economic and geopolitical changes – intensify, while the confluence of social, technological, political and economic megatrends generates unprecedented complexity, uncertainty and disruption.
We face an expanding list of bigger, more critical decisions and equally critical opportunities demanding our attention. The consequences of action, or inaction, are greater than ever.
It is with this in mind that Humanitarian Affairs Asia is hosting our next edition of the 12th University Scholars Leadership Symposium (USLS) at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, from August 6 to 9, 2024.
We kindly request your college to nominate 3 to 5 deserving students who embody the qualities of leadership, compassion, and a commitment to creating positive change. Attached to this email, you will find comprehensive information about the symposium, including the program, speakers, and registration fees.
The USLS serves as a distinctive platform for emerging leaders to delve into global issues, hone leadership skills, and contribute meaningfully to a peaceful world where equality and basic rights are protected. We believe that the essence of this symposium aligns seamlessly with your college's vision, aiming to empower students to evolve into compassionate leaders capable of making a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
For detailed information about the program, esteemed speakers, and registration fees, we invite you to visit our website or explore the UN ReliefWeb. Click here for more insights.
A highlight of this event includes an exhibition by 10 UN agencies, showcasing their impactful works around the world. This exhibition aims to create awareness among participants about the diverse systems and initiatives undertaken by the United Nations.
Furthermore, workshops conducted by 4 UN agencies during the symposium will delve into specific topics, providing students with practical knowledge, skills, and strategies to address pressing global challenges.
The deadline for nominations is March 31. We sincerely appreciate your support in providing this life-changing opportunity for your students.
We hope to receiving your invaluable support to build a better world for the human race.
Kind Regards,
Humanitarian Affairs Asia
