UNA Coventry will connect people to the work and values of the United Nations by organising a diverse range of grass-roots activities. Ranging from speaker and fundraising events to film screenings and coffee mornings. It will also encourage debate among its members as well as dialogue with UN officials, thus promoting awareness of political issues faced by societies today and influencing decision-makers within the UN. This process will encourage people to understand what realistic targets are and will potentially contribute to decisions of daily politics making them more effective.
