Nearly 100 people came out for the second annual Educators for Nonviolence (EFNV) Teachers’ Conference held at the U.C. Berkeley campus on July 20th and 21st. The conference included such notable speakers as Dr. Michael Nagler of the Metta Center for Nonviolence Education, Azim Khamisa of the Tariq Khamisa Foundation, Dr. Joseph Marshall of the Omega Boys Club/Street Soldiers, Dr. Rachel MacNair of Consistent Life and Dr. Cynthia Boaz of the International Institute on Nonviolence Conflict. The conference also included several workshops and a tabling fair consisting of organizations focused on bringing nonviolence into schools.
As one conference attendee put it, “I really enjoyed last year’s conference, but this year was even better!” EFNV hopes to continue in this tradition and provide even more engaging and relevant resources and opportunities in order to make the teaching and living of nonviolence part of mainstream education.
EFNV is a joint project of the Metta Center for Nonviolence Education and the Dalai Lama Foundation.

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
