The Program
This June, the United Nations will provide a fully-funded program for 10 students from around the world to learn about nuclear disarmament, and how those students can spread the message of disarmament in their local communities. This program will take place both as online courses and a two-week in-person study tour in Vienna, Geneva, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
