Youth Leader Fund for a World Without Nuclear Weapons (YLF)
Youth Leader Fund for a World without Nuclear Weapons, an interactive learning programme funded by the Government of Japan and managed by the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs. Through online courses, meetings with diplomats and other experts and the development of creative projects, the Youth Leader Fund equips these young leaders with the knowledge, skills and networks needed to contribute to the global effort to eliminate nuclear weapons — the most dangerous weapons on Earth.

"The legacy of Gerboise Bleue is not just history—it is our inheritance. This program ensures that young people are not just passive inheritors of this trauma, but active agents in healing and preventing future nuclear catastrophes."
