Geneva Summer Schools: Inside the International Geneva

During some of our programmes, participants get to immerse themselves in the world of global governance, diplomacy, and humanitarian action during a series of visits to major international institutions based in Geneva. 🌍

From visits to the United Nations Office (United Nations Geneva) and International Committee of the Red Cross Museum (Int Committee of the Red Cross) to meaningful discussions at the WHO (World Health Organization) , WTO (WTO OMC) , IOM (IOM - UN Migration) , WEF (World Economic Forum) , Gavi (Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance) , the Global Fund (The Global Fund) and StopTB Partnership (Stop TB Partnership) , they witnessed firsthand how Geneva functions as a hub for multilateral cooperation and global policy-making 🤝.

These visits not only deepened our students’ academic understanding 📚 but also broadened their real-world understanding of the international community! ✨

International Law & International Humanitarian Law

Learning goes far beyond the classroom. 🌍

Near the end of the course, participants of our International Law & International Humanitarian Law programme went to visit the ICRC Museum (Int Committee of the Red Cross ) as part of a field trip, gaining more perspective on the work of one of the world’s leading humanitarian organizations.

Through the museum’s powerful exhibitions, students explored the realities of armed conflict and the humanitarian challenges it creates, while reflecting on the fundamental principles and rules that seek to protect human life and dignity during war.

This inspiring visit brought course concepts to life, deepened their understanding of the challenges faced by humanitarian actors in conflict settings, and encouraged meaningful discussions about the role of international humanitarian law in protecting civilians and those affected by armed conflict.
