The second 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. In addition, three job opportunities with UNODA for young professionals will be available to support regional implementation.
The selected Young Champions will receive training on disarmament, non-proliferation, arms control and their connections to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This will be followed by regular exchanges with experts, regional workshops and youth forums. As a culmination, the 15 Youth Champions will present their perspectives at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

This program is made possible thanks to the generous support of the German government.
