The decisions that are taken at The World Forum have a bearing on the entire world, such as conferences of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN). Sometimes, however, it’s the personal encounters that make a difference at the grass root level. These could for instance include an enlightening conversation with colleagues at a corporate event or enjoying a cultural event together, like The Hague Jazz festival. Every encounter at the World Forum is a special event that can change your view on the world. ‘Events that shape the world’!
