War does not only hurt nations. It can leave entire generations without the land, infrastructure, or safety they need. With nuclear weapons, humanity now has, for the first time in history, the means to put an end to its own existence. Humanity can lay waste to the Earth at the push of a button, and with new conflicts raging across the globe, nations are more likely to use these weapons than ever before since 1945.

We need solutions.

Peace is not just a fundamental human need, but a key factor for the well-being and development of future generations as well. For these reasons, we, the Foundation for the Rights of Future Generations (FRFG), have chosen the theme “Nuclear Risks and Longterm Peacekeeping” for our 2025 “Walkshop”.
This Walkshop will take place in Scotland in summer 2025. On a five-day-hiking trip around Loch Lomond, including visits to the HM Naval Base Clyde (the location of Britain’s nuclear weapons) and the Peace Camp in Faslane, participants will experience firsthand exposure to the realities of nuclear weapons and their impact on local communities. By engaging directly with these environments, participants will gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of nuclear issues and the importance of longterm peacekeeping strategies. At learning venues and during discussion events, participants will have the opportunity to interact with experts and decision-makers in the field of nuclear disarmament and international peace. The Walkshop will be a unique learning experience, simultaneously involving physical activity, education and teamwork. It will also foster international and intergenerational conversations about the existential fears arising from nuclear threats and the potential for human self-annihilation.

Applications for the 2025 Walkshop “Nuclear Risks and Longterm Peacekeeping” are currently not open yet but will commence in the fall of 2024.
