COMMUNITY PARTNER INFORMATION:
Organization:
Non-Violence-Now
Description:
Nonviolence Now is committed to raising awareness of issues related to conflict management, with special attention to issues of discrimination and violence. Through our workshops and awareness events we strive to empower people to make positive change in their own community. By using lessons from teaching on nonviolence by people like Gandhi, Desmond Tutu, Hannah Arendt, groups such as the Children's Peace Movement of Columbia, and UNESCO's "A Culture of Peace" Initiative, we desire to expose people to the benefits of responding positively to conflict and seeking to address its underlying roots, such as poverty, privilege, or environmental issues.
