International Activities

What are International Activities?

Through its divisions in every state and territory across Australia, UN Youth Australia provides an impressive array of events each year centred around global affairs. We believe in the value of peer-to-peer education and have been inspiring young students for decades to become engaged with the world around them.

Providing international trips and opportunities to Australian youth allows them to become immersed in the live nature of diplomacy and politics, to see historic locations alongside where history is currently being made. We want to deliver a once in a lifetime experience for  delegates and hopefully spark their passion in the field of international affairs.

Trip Types

The International Activities portfolio will focus on 5 key trips that will run on a consistent timeline.
