UN CC:Learn’s alumni engagement events are geared towards complementing the learning of its growing alumni network by providing them with the right skills, understanding, awareness and motivation to be drivers of change within their specific contexts. Currently, UN CC:Learn is running two distinct event series: Fireside Chats and Masterclasses, exclusive to those that have completed an online course on our UN CC:e-Learn platform.
Fireside Chat
Many UN CC:Learn alumni have enrolled onto a UN CC:Learn course for professional development reasons. Our Fireside Chats provide exclusive, direct access to the personal/professional insights of UN and other thought leaders/experts on climate change topics. They consist of short (45-60 minutes), informal interviews with engaging specialists followed by an interactive Q&A with participants able to submit questions to the experts in advance.
