2010 Gandhi-King Conference

The Gandhi-King Conference on Peacemaking is a three day conference bringing together modern visionaries on nonviolence and social change with community leaders, activists, academics and organizers to train, learn, plan and organize to create a culture of liberation and justice for all. The theme of the 2010 Gandhi-King Conference is "Experiments with Truth."

Participants will engage in: 
training and education in nonviolent theory and practice
opportunities for networking and peer-to-peer learning with movement builders from all over the country. 
identifying entry points for community members to become engaged in movement work. 
working groups to continue the work throughout the year. 
a nexus of people who are new to the movement and movement leaders to share and inspire action in a cross-cultural and inter-generational environment. 
Opportunities to learn best practices and develop new strategies and techniques based upon shared experiences. 

Conference participants will end this transformational weekend in a better position to make decisions about where best to focus their energies for maximum effect. Conference sessions will equip attendees with concrete tools to use in their personal lives and while engaged in social movement work.
