Campus UNESCO is an ongoing program that gives young people aged 14 to 18 the chance to share views with experts from UNESCO and civil society. The topics discussed in each 90-minute session are linked to major UNESCO themes such as education, artificial intelligence.
At each campus, speakers are invited to talk to students on their specific area of expertise. As well as UNESCO experts, speakers are invited from UNESCO's network of partner organizations, including NGOs, IGOs, private companies, and startups. They span a wide range of roles such as scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, conservationists, professors, CEOs, and managers of development projects.
Sharing their experiences and views with a wide variety of subject-matter experts enables young people to discuss and consider issues that are highly relevant to them today, and the role that they can have in shaping the future in areas such as AI.
