School activities
Everyone has a role to play in the global campaign to outlaw and eliminate nuclear weapons. School students can influence their leaders’ views on nuclear weapons issues and encourage friends and family members to become active in the movement. ICAN has developed a series of activities for students of all ages. Some will enhance their debating skills. Others will test their writing and artistic ability. All will improve their understanding of the nuclear threat and help move us closer to the goal of nuclear disarmament.
