The Peace Boat is set to arrive in New York City October 10-11 coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly- First Committee on Disarmament and International Security.  Peace Boat and the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) invite you to join us for a special event with approximately 75 young people from the ages 18-30 who will participate in activities promoting peace and disarmament in relationship to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The event is held under the “Youth for Disarmament” initiative to connect young people with experts to learn about today’s international security challenges, the work of the United Nations, and how they can become involved. The event will take place at UN Headquarters and onboard Peace Boat on Friday October 11, 2019 and will feature keynote speakers, educational panel discussions, workshops and musical performances.

Peace Boat and UNODA hope the youth participants will take the messages from this event back to their schools, organizations, and communities and encourage action for disarmament campaigns to promote a more peaceful and sustainable future.

Those interested in applying may fill out the form below to be considered as a participant for this program.  Applications will be open until September 15, 2019.
