Upcoming events: February 2010

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.

We hope to excite lively discussions 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. We will provide  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 on the days below.

• MELBOURNE       15 February  2010
• PERTH                18  February 2010
• ADELAIDE          23  February 2010

Each forum will have limited spaces and registration is essential.
