The Blue Line – Free Courses for UN personnel
Join the Blue Line community and gain access to the following online learning offerings, made available for free to all UN personnel.
UNSSC’s Blue Line is a value-driven learning community created by the UN, for the UN to support personalized and self-directed learning.
Alongside its Premium Offerings, the Blue Line features an ever-growing collection of tools, modules, and curated learning paths as well as an array of initiatives, resources, and live events - made available for free to all UN personnel.
By offering this unique space, UNSSC aims to strengthen the knowledge and skills of all UN personnel, with an eye to enhancing the effectiveness of the UN system and facilitating lifelong learning.
Through a single, one-time registration, participants can join the Blue Line community and gain access to all the free offerings.
These free offerings have been developed and are continuously updated specifically with the needs of UN personnel at heart, through years of research, experience and cross-agency collaboration.
The Blue Line’s free resources offer a space for UN entities and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to effectively share knowledge and expertise across the UN system. They provide all UN personnel with easy access to valuable resources and expert insights, while strengthening the community through unique content, tailored specifically to the UN’s context and mission.
The learning experience is structured around the following components:
- Easily digestible micro-lessons and interactive activities planned to consolidate knowledge, stimulate reflection, and foster engagement.
- Scenario-based learning exposing participants to practical challenges and UN real-world applications.
- Reflective practices and social learning to consolidate takeaways through peer-to-peer learning.
By creating a personal learning plan, participants can start and complete modules and activities at their own pace, track their progress each step of the way, and gain badges and certifications.
