04 · New York

New York is not the backdrop.
It is part of the experience.

New York becomes the classroom. Day 03, Friday 23 April: global institutions, the city, culture and relationships, as one cohort.

The Global 60 New York  ·  21 – 24 April 2027
01 Friday 23 April, morning · Planned

The real
chamber, first.

A guided visit to United Nations Headquarters is planned as part of the programme, subject to availability, scheduling and UN security requirements.

Guided tours run in groups of about twenty, with staff. By the Friday the Assembly has already voted: delegates walk into the real chambers knowing the simulation from the inside.

The Global 60 and Youth Impacts are independent programmes and are not affiliated with or endorsed by the United Nations.

04 Optional experiences

Enhancements,
not the point.

A shared helicopter sightseeing flight over Manhattan is a premium experience on the New York day for delegates whose package includes it (Excellency), subject to weather, operator availability, safety requirements and parental consent; a substitute experience is provided if it cannot fly.

  • The city programme continues for every delegate who is not flying
  • The Excellency tier also adds a shared premium limousine city experience, chaperoned
  • No optional experience carries any academic advantage
