The case for this course
The African Union and the United Nations set the agenda — on peace and security, trade, health, migration, and the future young people will inherit. Their decisions ripple into every country and every life.
Yet for most young people, the AU and UN are logos on buildings, not systems they can engage. Their organs, acronyms, and processes form a wall between ambition and action. Navigating AU & UN Systems takes that wall down — module by module — and replaces it with a clear map and a set of doors you can actually open.
By the end, participants don't just understand these institutions. They know where they fit in them.
