ICAN Australia’s Nuclear-Clear Exchange Workshop
18th February 2010 (Perth)
ICAN Australia is organising four workshops on nuclear weapons issues in February in Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Sydney. They will be a dynamic mix of information and discussion about nuclear weapons issues.
There will be lively discussion with ICAN partners and other NGOs on how nuclear disarmament is interconnected with the issues of climate change, aid and development, domestic nuclear issues and social justice. You will be provided with contemporary and easy to understand information and resources on:
- Current nuclear weapons capabilities and national and international efforts towards disarmament
- The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (in the lead up to the 2010 Review Conference at the UN in May)
- The Model Nuclear Weapons Convention (developed by NGOs internationally)
- The United Nations Treaty System and how NGOs work within the system
The workshops are specifically targeted for environment non-government organisations, aid and development organisations, church groups, unions and international studies students and academics, as well as those already involved in nuclear issues in Australia and globally. They are scheduled to run from 10am – 5pm, limited places are available.
Venues, agenda and other information will be available in the coming weeks. If you would like to put in an expression of interest to take part in one of these workshops, or have any other inquiries, please contact Mihiri Weerasinghe: mihiri(at)icanw.org.
