It has grown into an important educational and media opportunity to bring individuals and communities together, empowering them to envision and help create a culture of peace and nonviolence<strong>,<\/strong> one day at a time.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the Season is to focus education and inspire individual and community action on attaining peace and justice in the spirit of Gandhi and King. We can each be a force for peace and nonviolence. Our words and our actions can create ripples of peace around us and beyond. Peaceful living includes acting with compassion, kindness and consideration, and it also includes standing up against injustice.<\/p>\n<p>Each day, during these 64 Days of the Season for Nonviolence we practice a new principle of peace and nonviolence based on the legacy of Gandhi and King. A culture of peace and nonviolence is created one choice at a time, one action at a time and one day at a time.\u00a0 We hope you will join us in this journey.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>This year, we are delighted to be partnering with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wppspeacepals.org\/\" >Peace Pals International<\/a> to showcase art work from children around the world who have been united through the work of this organization to share the message &#8220;May Peace Prevail on Earth&#8221;.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gandhifoundation.ca\/about-the-season.html\" >Click here to learn more about the Season for Nonviolence<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gandhifoundation.ca\/season-for-nonviolence.html\" >Go to Original \u2013 gandhifoundation.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Season for Nonviolence is a global grassroots campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the transformative power of nonviolence.
