4 Summary of Session 2

In this session, you learned about some of the different forms of action taken to oppose nuclear weapons. In the UK in the early 1980s, this included large-scale demonstrations and peace camps, as well as less visible forms such as letter-writing campaigns, public education, and lobbying politicians. You then explored anti-nuclear activism in French Polynesia, where nuclear tests were carried out from 1966 to 1996, and the merging of anti-nuclear and anti-colonial protests.

In the next session, you’ll explore how activists have worked together across borders to oppose nuclear weapons.

You can now go to Session 3.
