Hear from previous participants
The visit to the important world organisation (the UN) was a very good experience, but what I liked the most was the teaching sessions after it where we studied the organisations in a detailed way and and discussed the drawbacks and positive points about them. It really gave me a fresh perspective. The teachers were amazing!
