Possible oppurtunity for me.

I got an email from my politics department today, forwarded on from my tutor. It was forwarded on from what i can see to just the students of one of my courses, about 35 or so of us, at least 30 of whom i can promise you will definitely not be interested, but i may have competition from a few people.

I dont know whether i deffo want to do it, but im now 20, with no clue what i want to do, no work experience, and a rather dull CV. Considering theres a good chance i'll stay in academia, this might be ok. Im about to go into 4th year and havent shown enough involvement in my degree, to be honest

What do you think about it? Does it sound like something i should consider going for?

** Telephone: ** Facsimile


Dear Vassilis Fouskas,

The purpose of this email is to invite one (1) student from University of Stirling
to attend an International Symposium at the United Nations European Headquarters in
Geneva, Switzerland titled Architects of the Future: Young Diplomats and the
Millennium Development Goals on September 19-22, 2006.



United Nations, Geneva, Switzerland - September 2006 International Symposium

On September 19-22, 2006, one hundred (100) young participants will lead discussions
about the MDGs in the Palais Des Nations, the United Nations European Headquarters
in Geneva, Switzerland. The symposium is open only to ATHGO Student Friend Members.
We invite you to sponsor a student to attend this very unique experience in Europe.
Only about a dozen of Universities are invited to be represented at this event.
The participants will closely work with several dozen United Nations Permanent
Missions and UN agencies in drafting a resolution that will best incorporate young
people?s efforts in the planning and implementing the UN MDGs. The seats are very
limited. The participants must be at ATHGO Student Premium Membership level ($175US
a year or above) to qualify. The membership invite is valid through May 26, 2006.
Please contact us for the application.

In addition to taking part in this intellectual discussion, the symposium
participants will leave with several significant resources, such as:


Scholarships ? available for the top 10 participants, including 3 all expense paid
trips to be part of a delegation at ATHGO International?s summit at UN?s European
Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland (valued $10,000 US).
Advanced negotiating skills
Enhanced understanding about international diplomacy
Improved leadership and teamwork skills
Personal career advice from world diplomats
A network of young professionals and Senior World Bank officials
The motivation and inspiration required to succeed in today's ever-complex global
environment

The symposium is organized by ATHGO International, a US based NGO whose mission is
to train, motivate, and inspire the next generations of diplomats and international
public policy professionals. Established in 1999, ATHGO has been awarded
consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and
the UN Department of Public Information (DPI) for its role in reaching out to
students worldwide and educating the young people about global human rights,
democratic development, economic self-determination, security, and other issues of a
global dimension.

Re: Possible oppurtunity for me.

I think you should definately do it.

E-mail your lecturer saying you would be delighted to do it.

Also ask him if he has any idea how much it'll cost you to attend (it'll show your serious about it ... you know asking questions and all).

Re: Possible oppurtunity for me.

Do you have to pay to go? Do you have to listen to a sales pitch for Swiss condos?

If you don't have to pay to go then why not go?

If you have to pay, but you have the money, then it would indeed add a little flavor to a CV and could impress the right person at the right time.

I vote, go for it.

Re: Possible oppurtunity for me.

Ohhh, also ask him if he knows other people who have done it so you can get advice from them (possibly) ... if he nominates you is that you going (if so find out if other people are going for it and kill them or something)?

Re: Possible oppurtunity for me.

You should apply for it, although it sounds like you'll have to really lay it on thick on any application form.

I didn't understand this bit :

Is this something you need to join to apply, or join if you're successful? Or is it something your Uni sorts out? If it's the former then is this just a membership boosting exercise?

Re: Possible oppurtunity for me.

If it was me, I'd definitely do it. So if you're gonna do it, then do it because you want to do it, not because you "don't have anything else to do".

It does sound rather interesting, so good luck with applying if you decide to

I went to WorldMUN, which acts as the real UN where you try to resolve international issues, draft and pass resolutions, etc..

It does sound very similar, albeit smaller. This year's WorldMUN had 1400 participants.

If I remember correctly, people on these forums criticized it for being 'a simulation of a simulation', but what the heck, it was fun

Go for it!

A very good friend of mine, his dad works for the UN. However his dad seems to not actually do much at the UN except go and watch tennis matches. That being said he is a nice chap, and is trilingual. Whats your french like?

The posh hall? fack aff I was in murray hall first year, union street last year, and thistle chambers this year. Currently dont have anywhere to live next year due to various issues.


I cant speak a word of french, and my german is ok, but obviously needs a lot of work. I realise my anglocentric nature counts against me somewhat.
