7.30pm
Tuesday 18 May 2021 (via Zoom)
We invite you to join us for an online talk by Stephen Farry, a long-time member of the United Nations Association in Northern Ireland. His talk, which will go live on Tuesday 18 May 2021 at 7.30pm, is titled:
‘Personal Reflections on the UN:
The UN’s Relevance for Northern Ireland Today’
Stephen Farry is the MP for North Down and Deputy Leader of the Alliance Party, having participated in Northern Ireland political negotiations since 1996. Stephen holds a PhD in International Relations from Queen's University, Belfast and was a Senior Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace from 2005 to 2006. His interest in and commitment to the United Nations dates from his academic work in the 1990s.
To mark the start of UN75, on 24 October 2020, we were greatly encouraged when more than 26 civic buildings were lit up in UN Blue throughout every local council area, and included university buildings. Normally we would hold UN Day events in different areas of N. Ireland and invite local school students to join us. While this was not possible last October, we now extend this invitation to schools and universities, local government, aid and development agencies and not forgetting our own UNA-NI supporters.
