Young Reporters at the UN
This activity offers young people the opportunity to visit the UN as budding journalists and attend a press conference organized mainly for them. A moderator and speakers from various international organizations will make a presentation and respond to questions.
Press conferences for young people
Press conferences are organized specially for Secondary II pupils. They take place once a month and cover a different theme each time. Speakers and experts from various international organizations are invited to share their expertise on current affairs. Young reporters attend the press conference, take notes and ask questions as if they are journalists.
During and/or after the conferences, the reporters' mission is to spread information whether to their class, school or through their personal network. They can do that by writing a press article, participating in a radio program, making a video report or by engaging through social networks. This activity can be done individually or by class.
