Geneva Interns Association

You are invited to the GIA General Assembly on Wednesday 22 February 2012 5:30pm at the ILO, Room 6.20

ILO entrance to the building by the bus stop 'BIT'. Follow the signs to the R2 North entrance.
You will need your ID badge (best) or if not an official ID (passport or ID card-Europe), you'll exchange this with a visitor pass at the security entrance.
Meeting 'Introduction to Geneva' start early...5:30pm.  Someone will be at the security 5 minutes before that time to escort you in.
Then followed is the General Assembly, which will start at 6pm, until approximately 7:30pm.  Ideally all people (non UN badges holders come in before 6pm, security is happier then).


Both meetings take place in room 6.20 (6th floor, room 20).

GIA is an association of interns working at the international organizations in Geneva.

Our three main aims are to improve:

  • The Professional Welfare of Interns
    • Campaigning to improve working conditions, and seeking fair remuneration.
    • Diversifying the accessibility of internship programmes, thereby improving the internship experience and increasing the participation of developing nations.
    • Generating networks and opportunities for professional development.
    • Achieving this through constructive dialogue with international organizations.
  • Life Beyond Work
    • Continuing and improving interns' social events like UN Drinks and UN Lunches.
    • Sharing knowledge on housing, meals at UN organizations, job opportunities etc.
    • Strengthening the existing community of interns in Geneva.
    • Providing a point of contact for interns with difficulties.
  • Continuity and a Lasting Institution
    • Many previous initiatives have been started by interns, but the fact that we move on so quickly means that they are soon forgotten and no longer pursued.
    • Having a formal association will help passing experience and information from one generation of interns to the next.
