Make your attendance at the CSW and the PrepCom more effective by learning the ins and outs of participation before you get involved at the UN. You will find out about security rules, rules of conduct, where to find needed things (like badges, documents, PCs, copiers, meeting places for caucuses, etc.) and learn effective ways to influence decision-makers. Key officials will tell how governments perceive NGO efforts to influence the process, and what things really turn them off! Learn from NGO representatives and others how you can be more effective during your time at the UN. Conducted in English.

Instructions:

Please complete one form per participant. You may copy this form. You may send one check for multiple participants. Please mail the check and forms in the same envelope. Fee is US$15.00 per participant. You may fax this form to reserve your space, and overseas participants may pay at the door with prior arrangement.
