Visits offered to Centrale Lyon students

We plan to provide students a more global vision of geopolitics. Our team believes that geopolitics is not only a matter of words, but also a whole environment of entities, meddled in a complex world. Thus, we intend to offer visits to Centrale Lyon students of iconic places such as Interpol in Lyon, UN office in Geneva, and more !

When people think about the UN, they associate most of the time the city of New-York. Antonio Guterres’s office is admittedly very publicized but the UN office in Geneva keeps a major part in the UNO. In fact, more than two thirds of the organisation’s activity is achieved in the Palais des Nations building !

Another strategic place are the headquarters of Interpol in Lyon. As conveyed in its motto, the organisation of 194 member countries aims to better cooperate for « a safer world ».
