This review is from: Facilitator's Manual For The Class Of Nonviolence (Paperback)

This book is full of great ideas for engaging others in the basics of nonviolence. Hands on activities enable teachers and facilitators to bring nonviolence to life. One of my favorites is called a "Small world" where participants are directed to cut an apple into pieces to resemble the amount of soil on the earth that we can grow food on. You will be amazed at how tiny it is, and how effective this activity is at promoting environmental awareness. Excerpts from documentaries like Nobelity and A Force More Powerful to show are highlighted. And all reading material can be downloaded for free from the websiteL [...]. Worth every penny.
