Max Lau, IPPNWC’s Political Coordination Intern, just returned from the Youth Nuclear Peace Summit 2025 in Winnipeg 🌎✨

💬 “It was inspiring to meet passionate young activists from Canada, the U.S., and Japan all working toward a world free of nuclear weapons.”

“From powerful student presentations to meaningful dialogues—especially about the role of empathy and education in disarmament—I was reminded of Canada’s potential to lead global efforts for peace. Grateful for the conversations, the learning, and the shared hope for a nuclear-free future. ” 🇨🇦🕊️
