Welcome to UNYANZ

UNYANZ, along with Soka Gakkai International and the Peace Foundation are conducting a survey on the awareness of NZ University students on nuclear issues.

A report will be compiled from the results of this survey, and will be presented to the United Nations at the Non-Proliferation Treaty review meeting in May. This will join results from similar surveys taking place in the US, UK, Brazil, South Africa, the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan.

The survey takes two minutes. So if you are a university student make sure you head to www.nukeaware.com to take part.

 

CNIMUN is being held in the Japanese Lecture Theatre at Massey University at 9.30 am on the 31st March. It will bring together students from Palmerston North, New Plymouth, the Hawkes Bay, Wanganui and the Wairarapa for a day of debating issues such as climate change and issues of human security.

Registration is $15 which includes catering for the day. Registrations for this event close on the 15th March and registration forms can be downloaded from the Wellington page along with more information about the conference. read more ...
