“This experience offered a rare insight into how multilateral diplomacy and international cooperation operate in practice. It was inspiring to learn first-hand about how each organisation overcomes the challenges faced in delivering their vital work. The experience has reinforced my determination to contribute meaningfully to Australia’s international engagement and multilateral objectives.” – 2025 tour participant Brendan Korn

UNAA Victoria began running small group tours to the UN in Geneva and New York in 2018.  Tours to Geneva resumed after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2023. 

During the tours, participants spend a week touring UN headquarters and meeting with UN officials and representatives of such agencies as UNICEF, the World Trade Organisation (WTO), World Health Organisation (WHO), UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

Meetings are also held with organisations which link into the UN such as the Association for the Prevention of Torture, Crisis Action and the International Peace Institute.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this experience. While there are many challenges facing the world today, I left feeling deeply inspired by the impactful work being done. This has only strengthened my resolve to pursue my career aspirations in this field and contribute to making a meaningful difference.” – 2024 tour participant.

“The UNAAV Study Tour to New York proved to be an invaluable and thoroughly enjoyable experience. We were provided with unique insight into the priorities, plans and projects of the UN and its agencies, and given the opportunity to make connections and learn from people working within the organisation, including many Australians”, – Dani Pallister, 2018 NYC Tour participant.
