COURSE DESCRIPTION
The ever increasing levels of violence throughout the world at all levels of social organization from family through global, call upon concerned educators and activists to consider with more intensity, the possibilities for change inherent in nonviolence. This workshop will present a basic introduction to the philosophy and theory of nonviolence illustrated by practical examples of nonviolent action for change suitable for adaptation to formal education and citizens' struggles for justice and peace.

This is the second of a two part special course/workshop. The particular focus and cases addressed will differ from those covered in Part 1.
