The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons provides a pathway out of this mess, and it's up to us to get our governments on board. Ban School is for anyone in Australia and the Pacific who wants to learn more about this movement and be part of history in the making. Enrol in the full program or pick and choose your classes. While ban school is free, we invite you to help us cover costs by donating to the project [here]. MONDAY 28 JUNE AT 5-6:30pm AEST / 7-8:30pm PACIFIC: What motivated this movement?
