We invite you to participate in our Meetings with Remarkable Men and Women virtual symposium series. These webinars provide our highly accomplished United Nations Global 500 Laureates with the opportunity to share their projects, passions, and wisdom with public and private school students around the globe.

Meetings with Remarkable Men and Women are conducted using an online symposium format, in which Laureates present their chosen topic, supported by a slide show, viewable by all the attendants. Here is a list of some of the past year’s presentations.
