Dialogue: Training for Nonviolent Action

From the days of the Home Rule struggle in India to large-scale actions by the environmental and alter-globalization movements, nonviolent action has involved various forms of training in the political art and practical skills of nonviolent conflict for social change. This month's online dialogue will focus on the vital importance of training for nonviolent action. Training ourselves on tactical and strategic nonviolent action is essential to maximize possibilities and results. What does this kind of training entail? Join experienced nonviolent action trainers in sharing methods, resources and experiences from around the world. You'll have the opportunity to share your experiences as well as gain ideas and tools to apply to your efforts. Join the New Tactics community today to participate in this dialogue!

What's this?

notebook: The Dilemma Demonstration

In this notebook we learn about the dilemma-demonstration tactic that was used by a Canadian organization to convince the government to release information that the public had a right to see.  They put pressure on the government by creating a climactic moment that brought media attention onto the issue and embarrassed the government.

notebook: Society as Mediator for Conflict Resolution

In this notebook you will learn how Elkarri, a group based in the Basque Region, has created a dialogue of social mediation that encourages participation on all levels of society.  Elkarri gives community members a choice over which part of the process they chose to particpate in, but they encourage particpation for all sides of the conflict.
