Why “UN” Students

By adopting the UN’s principles, we seek to bring these global values into the academic and social spheres of student life in Norway. Our name reflects not only our admiration for the United Nations but also our commitment to translating its vision into tangible action through education, dialogue, and youth engagement.

For us, being UN Students means standing together as part of a global community — one that believes in understanding before judgement, collaboration before division, and action before apathy.

Today’s challenges — from climate change to inequality and conflict — will shape the world young people inherit tomorrow. By engaging now, youth can influence the decisions that define their future. At UN Students Norway, we believe that awareness is the first step towards action, and action the foundation of lasting change.

The work we do at UN Students Norway reflects the urgent need for engagement, responsibility, and solidarity in building a sustainable and equitable world.
