Making Waves in Melbourne ... stories, survival and strategies to end the nuclear age

Making Waves in Melbourne


hero

Making Waves features the powerful tales of nuclear survivors from Japan and Australia, 
travelling aboard Peace Boat’s voyage to Australia from 24 January – 6 February 2018. 


The Governments of both countries have not yet signed the new nuclear weapons ban treaty. Inspiring civil society movements are demanding their leaders reject these weapons of mass destruction and abide by the new international legal norm.

Join the discussion.
Speakers include:
  • Miyake Nobuo, survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima
  • Hasegawa Hanako and Hasegawa Kenichi, former dairy farmers evacuated from Itate village, Fukushima
  • Karina Lester, Yankunytjatjara-Anangu second-generation nuclear test survivor
  • Scott Ludlam, former federal Senator and ICAN Ambassador
Hosted by Peace Boat, the Australian Conservation Foundation and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons in partnership with the National Sustainable Living Festival.
