The Vienna Action Plan was adopted in June 2022 “to facilitate effective and timely implementation of the Treaty and its objectives and goals following the first Meeting of States Parties.” While it does not dedicate a specific section or action(s) on “education” per se, it is inherent to a number of actions promote awareness-raising, learning, information sharing and other activities that include educational components.

This paper builds upon the previous working paper. Specifically, it considers two themes that would be relevant to the discussions at the second MSP: (1) how peace and disarmament education could contribute to the implementation of the Vienna Action Plan, adopted at the first MSP; and (2) what kind of education would help achieve the first point.
