International Day of Non-violence

The International Day of Non-violence is observed on October 2nd, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian independence fighter and the "father" of the philosophy and strategy of non-violence. He described non-violence not as passivity or avoiding conflict but an active engagement against injustice and violence through non-violent methods, similar to the active definition of solidarity used with students within our Solidarity is About Youth - SAY project. For more inspiration on how to convey the idea of non-violence to your students, check out the Glossary of Nonviolence here - https://thekingcenter.org/about-tkc/glossary-of-nonviolence/
