On 25 March 2025, a group of thirty high school students, all finalists from the Tokyo High School English Presentation Cup (TEP-CUP), visited UNU.
Organized annually by the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, TEP-CUP is an English-language presentation contest for students enrolled in Tokyo high schools. This year, eight teams, each comprising 1–5 students, made it to the finals. The visit to UNU was organized as part of the prize for TEP-CUP finalists.
During the visit, the high school students received a presentation on UNU, the only UN entity headquartered in Japan.
The students then engaged in group discussions with UNU staff, during which they presented summaries of their TEP-CUP presentations and received feedback. The students and UNU staff also explored the topic of international careers, including working for the UN.
The visit concluded with a tour of the iconic UNU Headquarters building.
