The Worldview Institute:
An Executive Training Program of UNA-NY
About The Worldview Institute
The Worldview Institute provides a forum within which New York professionals can engage and discuss global issues with experts in foreign policy and international affairs. The program consists of ten seminar modules geared to develop and enhance the scope of the work and activities of young business executives at U.S. based multi-national corporations and young professionals within the NGO, UN, media, law, government, diplomatic and academic communities. Applicants should have a bachelor's degree and a minimum of three years of professional experience or relevant graduate work.
Seminar topics are designed to stimulate informal but academic discussions with practitioners in the international arena and to illuminate and explore business, political, economic and social trends in different regions of the world. Discussions will include Middle East affairs, the Pacific Rim, the European Union, international terrorism, conflict resolution and human rights as well as practical seminars on multi-cultural considerations necessary for success in doing business in various regions of the world. Where appropriate, the program also addresses the role of the United Nations within these contexts. Our discussions are led by distinguished lecturers including UN ambassadors, noted academics and leaders in global business.
Dinners are capped at a maximum of 25 participants to facilitate intimate discussions. We offer a private tour of the United Nations as part of the program. We will issue a certificate of completion to participants who have attended 7 or more sessions.
