Connecting AASTU with the United Nations
The United Nations is crucial in promoting global peace, security, and sustainable development, fostering cooperation among nations. Its values of human rights, social progress, and international collaboration align closely with the mission of the United Nations Association of Ethiopia (UNA-ET).
Bridging Ethiopian students with the UN
Our Purpose
UNA-ET serves as a bridge between the Ethiopian people and the UN to raise awareness about global issues like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within Ethiopian communities, engaging students and young leaders in the process.
By establishing a UNA-ET chapter at AASTU, we aim to complement our strong academic focus with opportunities for students to develop a deeper understanding of global issues and leadership skills. This chapter will serve as a platform for our students to engage in meaningful extracurricular activities, including Model UN simulations, internships, and leadership workshops.
