About Youth Fusion
Youth Fusion provides a wide a range of resources, initiatives and actions for youth from all corners of the globe and from all walks of life – whether they are students, academics, parliamentarians, young professionals, youth activists or or merely youth interested in nuclear disarmament.
Youth Fusion also brings together youth working on nuclear disarmament with those working on peace, climate, disarmament of other weapons, human rights, justice, sustainable development and building back better from the pandemic.
And Youth Fusion organises forums and events for inter-generational dialogue, so that youth and those more experienced can listen and learn from each other and build cooperation for more effective policy action.
