The Disarmament Education Program is an initiative of Canadian Voice of Women for Peace in partnership with International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War – Canada
This program is a visionary partnership between Canadian Voice of Women for Peace (VOW) and IPPNW Canada, designed to equip secondary school educators with the knowledge and skills to seamlessly integrate institutional disarmament education into their local contexts. This involves interactive discussion on subject matter in the nexus of nuclear disarmament, nonviolent conflict resolution, Indigenous justice, and climate justice. Through engagement, education, and empowerment, we aspire to contribute to the creation of a more peaceful, sustainable, and just world— grounded in feminist values, creating a culture of peace, and the urgent need to eliminate nuclear weapons.
