“Sophia University United Nations Weeks October 2024” will be held from October 8 to 24.
To consider our future through U.N Activities
Sophia University’s UN Weeks, launched in 2014 with its concept “Thinking about the world and our future through the work of the United Nations,” is now in its 22nd round. Many events are organized in a high-flex format, both in-person and online, in order to reach out to a wider audience.
We welcome a diverse group of internationally renowned guests to discuss global issues ranging from war and peace, humanitarian aid, and the environment from multiple perspectives, such as politics, economics, science, culture, and more. Not only students of high school and university, but also working adults are welcome to join at a time best suited to their schedule.
