The Footprints for Peace International Walk towards a Nuclear-Free Future from Geneva to Brussels set off on Sunday, 26 April 2009, on the 23rd anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster: the world's worst ever civil nuclear accident.

In 2007, the group walked for 12 weeks from Dublin to London via Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England, and last year walked for 12 weeks from London to Geneva through France.

En route to their destination they will pass through five countries: Switzerland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Individuals are invited to join them along the way, for as long as they like.
