Education

Nuclear weapons remain one of the greatest threats to humanity. Understanding their impact, the global movement to eliminate them, and the story of ICAN is essential knowledge for students. These themes align closely with the Australian Curriculum in two key areas:

  • Sustainability – one of the three cross-curriculum priorities

  • Ethical Understanding – one of the seven general capabilities

Beyond this, nuclear history and disarmament connect with a wide range of secondary subjects, including:

  • History (Years 7–10)

  • Modern History

  • Legal Studies

  • Politics

Supporting teachers and students

ICAN is passionate about working with schools to bring this content to life. Support can take many forms:

  • Classroom visits and guest talks

  • Online seminars and interactive sessions

  • Teaching ideas and activity suggestions

  • Guidance on curriculum-linked resources
