Due to popular demand, PEACE Iowa is offering an expanded version of the Gandhi workshop we offered in April.
Free Gandhi workshop at PEACE Iowa
GANDHI, NONVIOLENCE, AND US
SATURDAY JUNE 28

PEACE Iowa, Old Brick
Common Room (ground floor)
26 E. Market St., Iowa City
Facilitator: Chris Klug
Refreshments will be served, including a simple lunch.
Participants in this workshop will explore nonviolence as Gandhi understood and practiced it. They will be encouraged to consider how the practice of Gandhian nonviolence could change their ways of responding to the difficulties and conflicts of everyday life. Through experiential activities, participants will apply Gandhi’s philosophy to personal life and political activism. The workshop is designed for adults and high school students.
