Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

CND Peace Education aims to empower young people with knowledge on peace and nuclear issues and support them in making their own decisions. We have three education packs available. All activities are based on co-operative and active learning.

CND Peace Education can also offer talks and interactive workshops in your school, free of charge. Particularly suitable Citizenship, Humanities, History, English, Politics and Religious Studies lessons.

CND as a Pressure Group

Although CND Peace Education itself does not campaign in school, we do raise awareness as to how the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament operates as a pressure group and how young people can take “informed and responsible action” on issues about which they feel strongly.

Informing

• CND has a YouTube Channel with our latest videos.
• CND can be followed on Twitter to keep updated with the latest news.
• CND also has a Facebook fan page and group where discussions can take place

Taking responsible action:

• CND's eCampaign email update informs subscribers of upcoming campaigning actions.
• Online petitions provide an easy way to make your voice heard
• CND has an e-lobbying tool, enabling people to contact their MP on campaigning issues via a web based form.
