The Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens is a Quasi-International Organization based in Vienna, Austria. The Centre was established in January 2018 and is co-chaired by Ban Ki-moon (Secretary-General of the UN 2007 – 2016) and by Heinz Fischer (President of the Republic of Austria 2004 – 2016).
The Ban Ki-moon Centre empowers women and youth to live in a peaceful and prosperous world. We strive for a world based on universal respect for human rights, regardless of age, gender, identity, religion, and nationality, where sustainable development is achieved through global citizenship in shared responsibility, understanding and empathy.
The Ban Ki-moon Centre uses its independence, network and expertise to empower women and youth worldwide. We believe that leadership and mediation are essential to peace; that advocacy and participation are critical to empowerment; and that education is fundamental to fostering global citizenship.
We have produced three online courses partnered with the Yonsei University and APCEIU. The courses are free and self-paced. They include forums where learners and educators can communicate with each other and actively share their own opinions about the discussion topics.

The GC Scholarship Program empowers young people by facilitating their participation in international conferences as well as tailor-made, short-term academic training and mentoring during the development of their own “SDG Micro-Project.”
The GC Fellowships are leadership development opportunities for young leaders who seek to strengthen their changemakers capacities for sustainable development. The fellows take part in a six-month SDG-Micro-Project implementation period.
The Sustainable Development Goals (The SDGs, also referred to as #GlobalGoals) are the framework of the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens.
Their implementation is necessary to empower women and youth to live in a world, in which all people can thrive as global citizens.
