New York Graduate Plan Online
Nonviolence International New York, in partnership with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), is pleased to announce an additional educational opportunity for students completing their bachelor’s degree or graduate studies.
Adapting to the challenges put forth by COVID-19, Nonviolence International has updated their existing educational and advocacy program, The New York Graduate Plan, to a fully remote and online format. Introducing: The New York Graduate Plan Online.
The New York Graduate Plan Online (NYGPO) offers the same educational opportunities as its parent program but now with reduced tuition and the ability to participate from the comfort of home.
Like the New York Graduate Plan, the NYGPO features the same lectures courtesy of UNITAR staff, participation in workshops with Nonviolence International, guest speakers, and the opportunity to work in Civil Society at the United Nations or launch an independent project based on the student’s interest and research.
Our priorities are always centered on our students, the NYGPO highlights this focus more than ever with smaller class sizes, greater opportunities for one-on-one learning with our teachers, and a structured online environment tailored to the benefit of our students.
With the NYGPO, students have the benefit of reduced tuition in addition to the added benefits of no longer being financially responsible for travel to the United States, housing in New York City, food and transportation, and all costs associated with applying for a visa. Nonviolence International estimates these financial savings at roughly 33% per student, all without sacrificing the quality of education and opportunities for networking with United Nations officials and figures in the field.
The NYGPO will utilize a completely digital format for all lectures, workshops, research projects, and engagement in civil society. Nonviolence International and UNITAR will use Slack, Zoom, and Google Drive to engage with all participants.
