1 Day Intensive: Non-Violent Direct Action
8 November 2008: Non-Violent Direct Action: Principles and Practices
10:00AM - 4:30PM
Presenter: Khristo Newall (see below for his background and experience)
Course Outline:
We will look at the history of non-violence in the context of people’s struggles for justice across diverse issues. NVDA has often been associated with spirituality of various persuasions, ranging from radical Christianity, Gandhi’s Hinduism, Buddhism etc. It has also been embraced by others who believe in non-violence as part of a raised human consciousness. It is also seen as a strategic tool in activism, rather than a life philosophy. NVDA can be applied to almost any situation or issue, but requires preparation and application. These sessions will focus on how to put NVDA into practice effectively.
