1) It has established universities like the United Nations University and University for Peace that grant degrees in areas related to UN goals.
2) It sponsors non-degree programs to educate students on the UN through initiatives like Academic Impact, Model UN, and internships.
3) It facilitates partnerships between higher education institutions globally through faculty exchanges, curriculum development projects, and networking.

- 1. Norwich Model United Nations Conference 2017 (Norwich MUN) Norwich Model United Nations Conference 2017 will be a one day conference scheduled for March 2017 which will give high school students in and around Norwich an opportunity to participate in exciting and informative debates relating to issues of global politics and development. The conference will be open to students in years 10, 11 and 12 and we will be looking to work with between 10 to 15 students per school.油The rules and procedures of the United Nations will be simulated and students will be split into various committees with each delegate representing a speci鍖c country to debate current global issues with the guidance of the respective committee chairs. At the end of the debate students are expected to produce comprehensive resolutions to the issues debated. UEA Model UN society will provide training sessions as well as resource materials to prepare students. One of the reasons why UEAMUN has decided to host its 鍖rst ever conference is to strengthen the relationship between the University and the local schools and give back to the local community by educating the youth on global politics and international affairs. Norwich Model United Nations will allow participants to understand the workings of the United Nations and the relationships between different countries as well as how various nations perceive global problems depending on their speci鍖c social, economic and political situation. Our main objectives are to provide an opportunity for students to develop an awareness and understanding of political and international affairs and diplomacy whilst simultaneously developing other important transferable skills. The conference will provide students with an opportunity to utilise their knowledge in areas such as Geography, History and Economics and learn how to apply this knowledge outside of the classroom. Moreover, students will gain an opportunity to enhance their public speaking, critical thinking and negotiating skills. This initiative offers a number of long term bene鍖ts. Through participation, students will develop their con鍖dence and be able to realise their capabilities as future leaders which will help them in developing their aspirations. The skills learned will also be an asset to students and can enhance employability. Additionally, since the conference will be an annual event, it will cultivate a strong and ongoing relationship between the university and the wider Norwich area. Secretary General Katharina Wodenitscharow Deputy Secretary General Amanie Mathurin
