  Non-Violence Education
Non-violence is an holistic theory and practice that rejects aggression and violence in order to achieve goals or resolve conflicts in a constructive way.
 
kites.gifThis evolving perspective of personal and social empowerment is not about denying anger but channelling the energy behind anger into other strategies that are powerful and respectful of others.

It is a fact that we live in a world with conflicts: war,torture, ethno-cultural rivalries and violence. Against those problems there is a slow but growing recognition of the value of non-violence to solve them.

This fundamental human aspiration developed as a comprehensive theory by Mahatma Gandhi can be identified in many examples throughout history.
