Youth Leader Fund for a World Without Nuclear Weapons

The UN Office for Disarmament Affairs (ODA) is calling for applicants to join a new Japan-sponsored programme to increase awareness and understanding of the threat of nuclear weapons.

Called “Youth Leader Fund for A World Without Nuclear Weapons,” the two-year training programme will cater to young people (18 to 29-years-old) from around the world. It will train participants in the principles of nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation, and arms control through online courses. A select cohort will spend a week to study the impact on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including through conversations with survivors of the nuclear explosions. 

The deadline for applications is Monday, 31 July 2023.
