The main objective of UNA Slovenia, which was formulated in 1951, is to inform the public about the ideas, goals and activities of the UN.
The association also carries out an educational programme for primary schools pupils with the aim to introduce the goals and activities of the UN to the youngest.
UNA Slovenia every year on UN Day awards prizes to graduate and post-graduate students for ten best dissertations on UN topics, with the aim for furthering research work on the UN.
Excursions to various UN institutions have the aim to make everyone interested acquainted with the actual work of the UN agencies.
Most of the work is done by volunteers, who are mostly law school and international relations students, who represent an informal Youth section within the organization.
