NON-VIOLENT RESISTANCE Why and When?

Our second event was held on March 21st, and it was another great evening sharing and learning from each other. Thank you to everyone who attended the event and voiced their thoughts and experiences.

Although it was a sensitive topic, we all learned from the sincere discussion we shared afterwards. As several of us are teachers here in Hong Kong, it was difficult but also enlightening to see the universal similarities between children and how we must always be vigilant and open to those who may be ostracised, suffering, or feeling alone. The safe schools program, although needed for gun violence in the USA, held some insight to all educators in creating a safe space where no child is left to feel like violence and aggression are the only way out.

We now look forward to our next event, on Monday April 29th, where we will be sharing about non-violent resistance. We will listen to TED Talks from experts on the subject, followed by brief presentations from six of our SIG members on different instances of resistance. From the #metoo movement, eco-activism, to political resistance, we hope to give an insight to how non-violent resistance can form and take shape all over the world.

Please join us for an insightful and interesting evening.
