You may find enclosed the updated course agenda, but please bear in mind that minor changes to it are still possible.

Few practical tips for you to take into account when arriving at the UN House:

-          The UN House is located at 1, Klovskyi Uzviz, Kyiv – kindly see the map here  http://www.un.org.ua/en/contacts

-          We would advise you to arrive at the UN House approximately 10 minutes before we start, so that we would have enough time to clear everybody through the security check and get seated in the conference room before the first session starts.

-          When arriving at the UN House, kindly remain at the gate and do not proceed to the security check before I come tocollect you all from there at 3:50pm – as there will be 30 people coming to the UN house at the same time, it is easier if we proceed from the gate to the building together as a group. 

-          Kindly bring your photo ID with you when come, as you need to show it to the security personnel at the gate.

-          In any urgent matters (if you're late, cannot find the UN House etc.), kindly call my cell +380 50 718 3176 and I will do my best to help you. 

It would be great if you could also bring with you an open mind and a positive attitude, since although most of our course topics are very serious by nature, there is no need for us to be it too, but let’s have a laid-back atmosphere and a lot of fun during the course – in this way we also learn from the experience and from each other the most! J  Here are greetings from the last year’s course:

We would also encourage you to be active in social media throughout the course, so that also your friends who are not able to take part in the course this time would have a chance to learn about what we are discussing there – feel free to post photos, tweets and comments as much as you wish; next week we will also create a hashtag for the course to help you to do so!

Hope this information is sufficient & do not hesitate to get back to us if anything remains unclear. Thank you & our whole UN team is already very much looking forward to meeting you all on Monday!

Kind regards,
