We would certainly not have many of the rights and freedoms we enjoy today without movements or individuals acting to assert their legitimacy. From Martin Luther King to Otpor in Serbia, from Gandhi to Rosa Parks, history shows us that nonviolent civil disobedience, when well organized, is a formidable force for achieving rapid and effective change in laws.
To ensure a future for our children, we must act now, and we must train ourselves to act in a resilient and effective way. Extinction Rebellion offers this training to help you understand and feel comfortable with non-violent civil disobedience. You will learn the basic principles of nonviolent strategy, how to practice it effectively, and what your rights are under the law. You will be able to organize in autonomous groups, making choices according to your conscience in an atmosphere of trust.
Nonviolence is one of the core principles of Extinction Rebellion and it is non-negotiable for everyone who wants to act under the name of the movement. This strategic choice is essential to put all the chances of success on our side. Any obstacle to this principle will endanger our entire international movement. Practicing nonviolent civil disobedience therefore requires discipline as well as respect for the people who will be affected by our actions.
This training will be proposed in different languages (FR/EN/IT/DE) depending on the participants and trainers’ availability. Please indicate your preferred language as well as all languages you understand in the sign-up form.
