A
Season for Nonviolence is a global grassroots campaign dedicated
to raising awareness about the healing and transforming power
of nonviolence. This 64-day event began in 1997 for the occasion
of the 50th and 30th memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi
and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It has grown into an important
educational and media opportunity to bring communities together,
empowering them to envision and help create a nonviolent world,
one heart and one day at a time.
Throughout
the 64-day campaign, events and activities for peace and nonviolence
take place all around the world, highlighting existing peacebuilding
initiatives and inspiring new year-round activities for a
more peaceful, nonviolent, just and sustainable world.
