The 2nd edition of the program introduces a regional focus, bringing together young disarmament advocates from various regions – Africa, Europe, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas, and the Caribbean. Additionally, three job opportunities with UNODA for young professionals will be available to support regional implementation.
Selected Youth Champions will receive training on disarmament, non-proliferation, arms control, and their connections to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Regular exchanges with experts, regional workshops, and youth forums will follow. As a culmination, the 15 Youth Champions will present their perspectives at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
