Nonviolence Training Project: Trainers' Resource Manual

The Nonviolence Training Project Trainers' Resource Manual is written to offer a comprehensive reference for people who want to facilitate change through activist education. Available in both hard-copy and downloadable PDF format, the Resource Manual is for trainers, campaigners, organisers, and community workers who want to design and deliver workshops in the tradition of nonviolent social change. The organisation of the manual comes from a framework for nonviolence training that was developed by members of the Nonviolence Training Project Working Group (Australia-Pacific) prior to the Nonviolence Skillshare for Trainers. More than 50 training tools have been collected and categorised according to the framework.
