UNA Stirling
About
The UNA Stirling branch is a local branch of United Nations Association Scotland. Members gain access to UNA events, webinars, seminars, and workshops from UNA-UK, UNA Scotland and UN Women. Our goals are to: 1. advance Stirling's engagement with the UN's values, work and goals, and the Sustainable Development Goals. 2. increase knowledge of the United Nations, human rights, peace and sustainable development, and support projects aiming to engage with these topics.
Activities
UNA Stirling are very pleased to announce that UNA Stirling relaunched its branch in January 2023.
Throughout the first half of the year, we focused mostly on establishing ourselves within Stirling and increasing our branch membership. We conducted most of our events online via Zoom.
We also collaborated with UNA Alloa to celebrate the UN Living Together in Peace World Day. Our aim was to creatively promote the ideals of peaceful coexistence and unity. On 16th May 2023, UNA Stirling held an Art & Peace workshop and exhibition at the University of Stirling.
At the beginning of the academic year 2023/4, UNA Stirling continued its efforts to engage with the community through various initiatives, and we carried out our Annual Give it a Go event. Additionally, we collaborated with the UN Politics Society to organize a Model United Nations (MUN) simulation in October 2023.
