University Scholars Leadership Symposium (USLS) is an annual global symposium held by Humanitarian Affairs Asia (Thailand) and the United Nations. This global event shows youths that they can champion a cause that’s larger than themselves.

They will spend a week networking, helping needy communities, and hearing from movers and shakers of the humanitarian world.
Event Name: the 11th University Scholars Leadership Symposium
Date: August 1 to August 4, 2023
Place: the United Nations Conference Centre, Bangkok, Thailand
[Highlights]
One of the highlights of this event is the exhibition set up by 10 UN agencies, showcasing the remarkable work and impact they have made in various domains. The UN exhibition aims to create awareness among participants about the diverse systems and initiatives undertaken by the United Nations. Students will have the opportunity to engage with representatives from these agencies, fostering a deeper understanding of global issues and potential solutions.
Additionally, 7 UN agencies will conduct workshops during the symposium. These workshops will delve into specific topics, empowering our students with practical knowledge, skills, and strategies to address pressing global challenges. The engagement with these agencies will be a tremendous opportunity for our students to enhance their understanding of international development, intercultural communication, and collaboration.
Also, the participants will get their hands dirty by planting trees, cleaning the river, building fish habitats, and serving those communities in need.
