European Youth Network for Nuclear Disarmament
Welcome to the website of BANg
At the Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty at the UNO in 2005 in New York, for the first time youth have been able to raise their voice. Still, the conference failed. Therefore, some youth from Europe decided to found a European Youth Network for Nuclear Disarmament to tackle the threat of nuclear war by youths from all over Europe. So in October 2005 in Milano, Italy BANg was born!
The network intends to offer youth a space to develop and implement their own strategy to achieve peace and nuclear disarmament in Europe and in the world. It is also a marketplace of ideas to exchange successfull experiences, tricks and information.By now, BANg has over 100 members from various organisations in a dozen countries.

Their biggest wish is that all nuclear weapons are abolished so that nobody else must experience again the hell they went through.
