Background

The work done by the United Nations, international organisations, non-governmental organisations, and other institutions in Geneva has a global impact. It is therefore important to broaden the understanding of the work carried out in International Geneva, and to better connect with the communities worldwide that are affected by the policy discussions that take place there. Digital technology brings new opportunities to make the bridge that connects the two.

The Geneva Engage Awards are handed out each year to the international organisations, non-governmental organisations, non-profits, and permanent missions that have been the most effective in their social media outreach and engagement. The selection for the award is based on DiploFoundation’s analysis of the innovative and effective use of social media in 2017.

With the support of the Canton of Geneva, the 3rd Annual Geneva Engage Award ceremony will be held on Monday, 11th December, from 15:00-17:00, in Auditorium de Mello, WMO building, 2nd floor (Av. de la Paix 7bis, 1202 Geneva). It will be followed by a reception.
