350 students and members of UNA-UK's youth wing (UNYSA) crammed into the Institute of Education on 23 November 2010 for UNYSA’s campaign launch event. Entitled GET THE GOALS, the campaign for this academic year focuses on the UN Millennium Development Goals.
At the event, keynote speaker Josette Sheeran, head of the UN World Food Programme, spoke passionately about her organisation's efforts in helping to meet MDG 1 – eradicating extreme poverty and hunger. The event also featured a lively panel discussion with Janos Tisovszky (UN Regional Information Centre), Imogen Martineau (UN Environment Programme) and Andrea Paltzer (WFP UK office), who answered students' questions on the MDGs and working for the UN.
