Nonviolence: From Personal to Social Change
Roosevelt Hall 203
This participatory workshop will provide an introduction to the theory and practice of nonviolence - what it is, why it’s effective, and how we can use it from the personal to the collective levels for inner and outer transformation. We will explore what we as individuals can do to maintain nonviolence in our hearts and in our everyday interactions with others, including our communication. We will also explore conflict deescalation, alternative institution building, and nonviolent strategies for resistance. The workshop will be practical, interactive and fun!
