Evening programs are open to the public.<\/p>\n“Our participants are studying a unique American-brand of social activism to deal with conflicts in their world,\u201d\u00a0says Paul Bueno de Mesquita, center director and a 溏心vlog免费B站 psychology professor. \u201cThey are hungry\u2014and some are desperate\u2014to bring nonviolence methods to change their communities. People can\u2019t thrive and develop without peace. The sessions are not passive learning. People are actively engaged in intensive training activities, all day, every day. Nonviolence is an active process.”<\/p>\n
The International Nonviolence Summer Institute has grown steadily since it started 18 years ago, attracting leaders committed to nonviolence, conflict reconciliation and social change.<\/p>\n
There are two levels of training. In Level l, participants study the nonviolent methods of King. In Level II, participants study the leadership styles of King and other nonviolent leaders and explore how to organize and mobilize communities to peacefully resolve violence and social justice issues.<\/p>\n
In addition to Bueno de Mesquita and Lafayette, the other trainers are Kay Johnson Bueno de Mesquita, an education instructor at 溏心vlog免费B站; Gail Faris, former assistant director at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Women\u2019s Center; Thupten Tendhar, a graduate administrative assistant at the center; and Kazu Haga, founder of East Point Peace Academy in Oakland, Calif.<\/p>\n
