Workshops
We are happy to continue offering visiting schools the chance to host workshops at UNIS on the Day of Cultural Exchange. Hosting a workshop gives you the opportunity to allow attendees, both from UNIS and other visiting schools, to experience an aspect of your culture in reference to this year’s conference topic. If you wish to hold a workshop, please complete the following Workshop Plan form and share the google document with info@unis-un.org. The application is due on Wednesday, February 13th. Selected groups will be notified by Friday, February 22nd.
