Busy NWIP
 NWIP
has been as busy as ever after the world congress in China
in last September. After the
conference, a group of students immediately went to US for dialogues
with
students in Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana.
In March 2005, a group of NWIP-students wet to Russia
for dialogues and training
sessions. At the same time, another group had three workshops during
the student
PSR conference in Chicago,
USA.
NWIP
energetically worked during the European
Student Conference in St.
Petersburg
(April 22nd-25th). Inga Blum, Martina Grosch, Camilla Mattsson, Thomas
Silfverberg, Rune Dahl, Simon Achter, Jenny Immerstrand and Caecilie
Buhmann
all attended the conference and ran workshops on Nuclear Abolition and
organized a presentation on the Nuclear Weapons Inheritance Project for
the
Project Fair.
Then
NWIP took part in the important Nuclear
Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, which took place
in New York
in May.
Besides, the NWIP students had a panel discussion with delegates at the
conference about the issue of Nuclear Inheritance and the medical point
of view
on Nuclear Abolition. During the conference IPPNW students successfully
organized the first part of the installation in New York as part of the “Target X
project”.
In Germany,
NWIP students organized
a Nuclear Awareness Campaign Day for
medical students in Hamburg
and are involved in a process of introducing nuclear issues into the
high
school curriculum. In addition, NWIP has been playing an important part
within
the German student movement, organizing workshops at student
conferences and
recruiting new student members for NWIP.
In Pakistan
and India,
NWIP
students are currently organizing the upcoming NWIP
delegations to their countries this August and would love to
have some help. Similarly students in China
are working to arrange the first delegation of NWIP to China
next
year.
In
coming September, the NWIP students will be participating in a
roundtable with
the NATO officials in Brussels.

remained as
busy as ever. If you want to participate in any of the upcoming events,
