Nonviolence Education
Engaging Nonviolence Course
How do we challenge injustice, inequity, war, violence, and untruth - personally and structurally, especially in these divisive times? We wage peace.
Embark with us on an exploration and experimentation with nonviolence.
The Engaging Nonviolence Study Program is a 15-part study and action program offering participants a wide variety of principles, stories, exercises, and readings for learning, practicing, and experimenting with the power of creative nonviolence for personal and social transformation.
You will learn powerful methods for opposing violence and injustice and for building just and peaceful nonviolent alternatives. Engaging Nonviolence is designed to build your understanding and capacity to address the direct, structural or cultural violence that matters most to you.
