We spoke about the need for a more effective and responsible UN that is accessible to citizens and can show visible results.

After a brief August break, we're back with Episode 6 of "The UN We Need." I spoke to #youth leader Prathit Singh at the @graduateinstitute

We spoke about the need for a UN that is more #receptive to young people and able to #connect with people's lived realities. And we talked about the kind of imaginative #leadership needed to lead the UN in that direction.

This is a #Coalition. Join us! @c4unwn taken in Geneva, Switzerland by @alupel
