Activity
The Portal of Nations was generously donated to the United Nations by the Portal of Nations Foundation. As part of this donation, the Foundation developed and produced an immersive experience titled "Together," featuring contributions from various United Nations entities in Geneva.
This experience reflects the Foundation's creative vision and offers a new way for the public to engage with issues of concern to the United Nations. The United Nations expresses its gratitude to the Foundation for its support of the United Nations and for promoting multilateralism.
The United Nations has agreed that the Foundation will operate the Portal until the end of 2027. From 2028, the Portal will be operated by the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) and will serve as the United Nations Visitors' Centre.
